In the heart of the moors, where the fog clings like a shroud and the ravens whisper secrets, Ravensgrave Manor awaits.
Vesper Elara Blackthorn has spent years burying her family's sins-her sister Lyra's murder, her mother's mysterious fall, her brothers' web of lies. But when the Eclipse Locket, a cursed heirloom said to hold the Blackthorn family's darkest secrets, resurfaces, Vesper is summoned to a game she cannot refuse.
Seven nights. Seven players. One victor.
The rules are simple: survive the games, earn £100,000, and reclaim the locket. Fail, and the world will know how the Blackthorns truly rot. But the host-a figure cloaked in raven feathers and bone-knows every sin Vesper has buried. And as the nights unfold, the games grow darker: masks crumble, alliances shatter, and the line between truth and lies blurs.
Betrayal is currency. Trust is folly. And the only way out is through ruin.
But Vesper has a secret of her own: she didn't come to play. She came to win.
A tale of captivating manipulations: A story to be truly beheld.

But death wasn't the end. Rescued by the enigmatic Chooser, her soul was exiled to the Island of the Spared Souls-a purgatory for those not bound for eternal torment.

And what will Elowyn sacrifice to hold onto a love that was never hers to begin with?

There she meets an unlikely trinity of allies: a diviner who sees the threads of fate fraying, a war vampire addicted to blood and battle, and a brute whose strength is matched only by his fierce loyalty. But as her ancestry unfolds-a legacy woven from dark and light-a deeper horror stirs in the void, older than gods, older than death. And it has been waiting for her.Complete
