Claimed by Darkness

The war is over.

The engagement ring is on Gawin's finger.

And for the first time in his life, Gawin finally knows the truth.

His mother never abandoned him.

She fought for him.

Loved him.

Searched for him.

But the answers hidden inside the South Harbor briefcase uncover an even darker secret-one that reaches far beyond the Vesper Syndicate.

Someone powerful orchestrated Gawin's disappearance from the very beginning.

Someone who has remained hidden for over a decade.

Now, as Joss and Gawin prepare for their future together, a new enemy emerges from the shadows claiming that Gawin was never meant to be free.

Meanwhile, Gawin struggles with the emotional aftermath of learning the truth about his past. Years of trauma don't disappear overnight, and the panic attacks, anxiety, and fear of abandonment still haunt him.

But this time he isn't alone.

Because Joss has made one thing painfully clear:

Anyone who tries to take Gawin from him will face a war far worse than the last one.

Yet as old secrets surface and loyalties begin to crack, both of them will discover that love alone may not be enough to survive what's coming.
Some wars are fought with bullets.

Others are fought with the truth.

And the truth is finally coming.
