Five months ago, seventeen-year-old Elias Cross died in a tragic accident. He left behind a grieving town-and Lena Moreau, the girl he loved with a devotion that bordered on obsession.
Lena has spent months trying to move forward. The pain hasn't faded, but she's learning how to breathe again.
Then one night, Elias returns.
But he's not the same.
Dragged back from the grave by the strength of a bond that refused to break, Elias is no longer entirely human. His body is broken. His mind fraying. And all he wants is her.
Terrified, Lena is torn between the memory of the boy she once loved and the nightmare he's become. As Elias lurks in the shadows of her life-watching, waiting, desperate-she must confront the truth: love doesn't always die. Sometimes it comes back.
And it's hungry.

The Watchers (Dealers Book 3)
In The Dealers (Book 1), Lena thought she understood the rules. Magic had limits. Every deal had a cost. And the mysterious Dealers - immortals bound by ancient pacts - kept the fragile balance between power and chaos. But everything changed when she met Azrael. The Dealer who never lost control. The one who shouldn't have cared - but did. Their connection was impossible, dangerous, and undeniable. And when the world demanded his sacrifice, Azrael gave everything to save it. Now, months later, the balance he died to protect is unraveling. Without Azrael's immortal essence anchoring the network, the Dealers' magic is breaking apart - contracts fail, power corrupts, and ancient debts begin to rewrite themselves. What once kept the world in order now threatens to tear it apart. Lena refuses to let his death be the end. Haunted by guilt and the echo of what they shared, she begins to uncover whispers of the impossible - that Azrael still lives, stripped of his immortality and hunted by the very forces he once commanded. To Lena, it's a chance at redemption - to save the man who saved her, and maybe the world along with him. To Noah, her oldest ally and fiercest skeptic, it's a threat - a walking weapon who could destroy what little stability they've managed to rebuild. As power fractures and loyalties splinter, finding Azrael becomes more than a mission. It becomes a test of faith, love, and survival - and a question that could rewrite the laws of their world: Can the world survive without its eternal anchor... or will saving him be the very thing that ends it?
