He kept one silence for seventy-three years. To bring her back, he has to break it-out loud, on the record, in the room where he kept it.
Raven Kaine is gone. Not dead. Not taken. Simply absent, as though the world closed over the place where she had been.
Julian Morven has spent two centuries being patient. He is done being patient. He has no body, no trail, no idea where she went-only a whisper that came to him out of nothing: find the three seals.
The seals were not made to be broken by someone who wants something. Each one opens only for the truth: spoken aloud, in front of a witness, in the room where the silence was kept. The first silence is seventy-three years old and has his name on it. The second belongs to his brother. The third is the one he buried.
Every truth he tells buys him minutes with her.
Every minute costs her something she will never get back.
And while he searches a city that has already absorbed the news of what he is, Raven is living under a borrowed name in Portland, in the spring of 1952, weeks before three women vanish from the back table of a coffee shop called the Green Cup. She knows their names. She knows the night. She knows the man who will be standing across the street.
She has never been told, kindly or otherwise, that she can't stop it.
Some silences protect the people you love.
This one buried them.
The Truth He Buried is book two of The Blood-Born, a dark paranormal romance trilogy. Begin with The Silence He Kept.
For readers who want: a morally grey immortal hero forced to confess - a heroine who refuses to be rescued, or erased - a love story split across two centuries - three women the world forgot, each one her own person - second-chance romance with an explicit payoff - detective-noir bones under the fangs
This book finishes its own story, not the series. Raven and Julian's story concludes in book three. Content: explicit sexual content, graphic violence, abduction and long-term captivity, memory loss, blood and feeding. A full content note appears at the front of the book.
