A murder the fae courts want buried.
A human detective who can see their lies.
And a shadow enforcer who may have to destroy her to save the realm.
When a fae noble is found dead in a human district, the Shadow Court rules it an accident.
Elara Vey knows better.
After surviving a ritual that left her able to see through glamour, Elara is the only human who can investigate crimes the fae erase. Bound by a dangerous court contract, she's assigned a handler-Cael Thorne, a lethal shadow enforcer whose loyalty is written in blood and law.
As bodies surface and witnesses vanish, Elara uncovers something far worse than murder: a breach between worlds, a court-made weapon, and a betrayal buried deep inside the Shadow Court itself.
Every clue pulls her closer to the truth.
Every step tightens the leash binding her to Cael.
And when the shadows turn hungry, Elara must decide how much of herself she's willing to lose to stop them.
Because some crimes don't stay buried.
And some courts are built on lies.
Perfect for readers who love:
Dark romantasy with sharp tension
Morally gray love interests
Fae courts, dangerous bargains, and forbidden magic
Mystery-driven plots with high stakes
Touch her and die energy
