To survive a monster, she must forge a masterpiece. To destroy an empire, he must turn her into a weapon.
Mavira Rustem is an artist who paints in the shadows. As the underworld's most gifted art forger, she survives by staying invisible. But when her mentor is taken hostage by the Cruor Directorate, Mavira is dragged into a subterranean fortress and given an impossible ultimatum: forge a flawless sixteenth-century masterpiece in twenty-one days, or watch the only family she has left bleed out. Her warden? The syndicate's most lethal executioner.
Tazian Krogh is a man built of cold mathematics and violent trauma. Known as the Architect, he is the Patriarch's infallible right hand-but his absolute loyalty is a twenty-year lie. He doesn't just want Mavira to paint a canvas; he needs her to build a photoreactive chemical bomb disguised as art. It is the final, explosive snare in a suicide mission designed to assassinate the Patriarch and burn the Directorate to the ground.
They are supposed to be captor and captive. A means to an end. But as the countdown to the high-society Crimson Auction bleeds away, the icy walls separating them begin to shatter. Trapped in a deadly game of forced proximity, their volatile partnership ignites into a desperate, consuming intimacy.
When the trap is sprung inside the impregnable walls of the Abattoir, Mavira and Tazian must trust each other completely. Because the only thing more dangerous than a syndicate kingpin with a gun is an architect with nothing left to lose-and a forger who has finally found a reason to pull the trigger.
Vow of Crimson is a high-stakes, forced-proximity dark mafia romance featuring a morally grey executioner, an unyielding heroine, and a breathless descent into the criminal underworld. Contains mature themes, violence, and intense emotional suspense.
