LadyLondynB
Some bloodlines are inherited. Others are owed.
Evelynn Sinclair never believed the old stories.
Not the warnings about red brick dust at the doorway.
Not the salt hidden in the cracks.
Not the superstition about never sweeping someone's feet.
And certainly not the whispered tales about what lived beneath Sinclair Manor.
Until the night her grandmother dies-and the secrets of the Sinclair bloodline begin calling her by name.
Drawn into a world of forbidden magic, ancient bargains, restless spirits, and a mysterious man named Damien, Evelynn discovers that her family has been protecting a terrifying secret for generations.
A secret written in blood.
A secret sealed behind a door no Sinclair woman was ever supposed to open.
But Damien isn't the only man hiding the truth.
Lucien, a stranger with a dangerous connection to Evelynn's family, claims the Sinclairs stole something that belonged to him centuries ago. And as Evelynn digs deeper, she discovers that the family curse isn't what she thought it was.
The Sinclair women weren't born cursed.
They inherited a debt.
Now the bloodline has chosen Evelynn as its next Queen.
But Evelynn refuses to become another sacrifice.
Caught between love, betrayal, supernatural power, and a kingdom hidden beyond the boundary of the living world, she must uncover the truth behind the crimson hearts before the past claims her future.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing a woman can inherit...
is the truth.
And when Evelynn finally reaches the throne, she will have to make one final choice:
Become the Queen they created-or become the woman who ends it all.
The devil sent crimson hearts.
Evelynn chose herself.
