HARROWSTONE

London, 1700. The duke Emile Kingsley seeks a duchess, his sights set on the sweet and submissive Ava Harrowstone. But his fate is about to be stained with blood. At a masquerade ball, a nobleman is brutally murdered in the garden, his neck marked by a crimson stain and his skin branded with an ancestral symbol. It's the first in a series of crimes that revives the fear of a long-extinct, forbidden magic.

As panic spreads, the Queen offers a fortune for the truth. Emile is pulled into the hunt, but his companion isn't the timid Ava. It's her fiery twin sister, Elaire. Together, they venture into an underworld where blood and sorcery are the currency. High society holds secrets as dark as the crimes that terrorize it.

Can they find the killer before the crimson shadow consumes them too? The hunt has begun, and the price of the truth may be their lives.
