Brasswick is a city that forgets its dead-but never its debts.
When bodies begin appearing across the riverfront with eyes and tongues torn away, feathers packed into their mouths, and crows circling like omens, Detective Jonah Cray recognizes the signature whispered only in alleys and basement bars: the Scavenger Court. Two masked figures-Brother and Sister-moving as one, wrapped in black cloaks and crow-skull masks no one has seen in decades.
When Cray's partner, Detective Rowan Alder, vanishes without a trace, the case turns personal. A single feather, a missing badge, and a recording of Alder's voice lead Cray toward a place no map acknowledges: the Court's Cathedral, a structure that shouldn't exist and yet rises from the fog like a wound the city chooses not to heal.
To save Alder-and himself-Cray must confront the truth Brasswick has been feeding for years.
Because the Scavenger Court isn't hiding anymore.
It's returning.

That all changed when an Alpha from a neighborhood pack visited her pack and uttered the word she thought she'd never hear "Mate". -- He locked the door behind us, pressing me against its hard surface. "Mine" He growled pressing his face against my neck, breathing in my scent. "Stop that" I yelled, tears streaming down my face. I tried to push him away from me but he didn't budge. "Just reject me already". "I won't reject you" His voice was low and dangerous. Was he worse than I thought? He will actually make me think he wanted me and then break my heart into a tiny million pieces. "Well then I will. I, Lily Crawford reject you Logan Wa-" Before I could finish he slammed me harder against the wall and covered my mouth with his hand. "Don't you fucking dare" He yelled punching the door beside my face. I flinched back but that didn't stop him. "I am your mate and whether you like or not you are now mine.
