Lyric in the Shadows

She ran from a monster and straight into the arms of something darker.

Three years ago, Elise Monroe disappeared. Broken, bruised, and renamed Lyric Voss, she vanished into a quiet city, trying to survive the aftermath of the man who raised her-and ruined her. What she didn't know was that someone had followed her. Watching. Waiting. Planning.

Silas Ryker was supposed to be her enemy. A man with shadows stitched into his skin and obsession buried in his chest. For years, he watched her from the sidelines-protecting what wasn't his. Loving what he never touched. Until the day she chose to stop running.

Now the past is clawing its way back.

Dean Kincaid, the man who once owned her, is resurfacing-and this time, he isn't just looking to reclaim her. He's looking to silence her. But Elise isn't a frightened girl anymore.

With Silas at her side and fire in her blood, she's ready to burn everything Dean built to the ground-name by name, lie by lie.

This is a story about survival. About dangerous love, blood-soaked loyalty, and the kind of healing that cuts first and comforts second.

He was the knife.
She was the wound.
Now they're the fire.
