The Avalok and Suuz

Ramin Zubof can feel what others hide. He is the Avalok.

Fear. Anger. Guilt. Desire.

As a special agent with a rare ability, he investigates cases where ordinary methods fail. But even an Avalok has secrets. Ramin knows exactly where his gift comes from, and he has spent his life making sure no one else discovers the truth.

When a powerful noble family is brutally murdered, he encounters something he has never experienced before.

A person he cannot read.

Suuz Vandette is a brilliant physics student and the heir to an ancient bloodline carrying mysterious abilities. But as her power grows stronger, something inside her begins to change. Her emotions become distant, locked away behind a door she cannot open.

When a murder investigation exposes forgotten magic, ancient bloodlines, and the disappearance of Suuz's younger sister, Ramin and Suuz must uncover the truth before more secrets are buried forever.

Together with Suri Vandette, Suuz's aunt and a famous heiress carrying the weight of a powerful family name, they must unravel a mystery that reaches far beyond a simple murder. Behind the glamour and public image lies a woman who knows more about the old world than she ever reveals.

But some family secrets are buried for a reason. And some powers come with a high price.
