by A. D. Dumas (Author)
Some vows conceal secrets. Others unravel them-along with the world.
Aurelia has never played by the rules, and she won't start now. When she agreed to marry, it wasn't for love. It was for protection, power, and a chance to uncover the truth behind her sister's mysterious disappearance.
Her new husband is the richest man in the city, and their arrangement is purely transactional... or so she tells herself. Because while he's willing to shield her from the dangers closing in, he's also hiding secrets as dangerous as her own.
As Aurelia delves deeper into the tangled web of those behind her sister's disappearance, she unearths long-buried truths about her own family-secrets that shatter everything she thought she knew. Knowledge has always been her greatest weapon, but some truths are too deadly to wield.
And the closer she gets to unraveling the past, the more she realizes she isn't just fighting for her sister.
She's fighting for the truth. She's fighting for her heart.
Most importantly... she's fighting for her life.
The first book in a gripping trilogy blending urban fantasy, romance, and mystery.
