Ash Between the Bones

They said she died.
They burned a body, held a funeral, buried the truth.

But Raphaela Turner is very much alive-chained in a hidden compound, forced into silence by a man who claims control is the only weapon worth wielding. With a war-scarred body and a mind trained for survival, Raph doesn't break. She waits. Watches. Plans.

Her captor is cold, calculating-and far too calm. His orders are absolute. But in the shadows walks another: Cain, a man carved from violence, tasked with reshaping her into something deadly. Something useful.

But Raph has never been one to follow rules. And as tension sparks and lines blur, the game shifts.
Because she might be a prisoner.
But she's not anyone's weapon.

In a world built on secrets, power, and blood-love is the most dangerous variable of all.
