He watched her for fifteen years. She doesn't remember why.
Detective Evie Vance is hunting a killer. Three bodies. No witnesses. Every victim connected to the same elite social circle — a world of galas and private clubs that doesn't exist on any police database.
Then she meets Cassian Crowne.
Billionaire. Recluse. The heir to a dynasty built on secrets older than the city itself. He knows things about the case he shouldn't. He looks at her like he's memorized every detail of her face. And when he touches her, a scar she's carried since childhood burns for the first time in thirteen years.
Cassian has a confession he'll never make: he was there the night she got that scar. He watched them seal her memories. And he's spent every year since protecting her from a distance — because the ritual that bound them as children was never meant to be kind.
Now the bond is reactivating. The murders are connected to the Obsidian Court — a secret society that has controlled bloodlines and power for two centuries. And the man Evie is falling for may be the most dangerous thing in her life… or the only one who can save it.
But the Court doesn't let go of what belongs to it. And the covenant between Cassian and Evie was sealed in blood — the kind of debt that demands payment.
She came to solve a case. He'll burn his empire down to keep her alive. Neither of them is ready for what the shadows want in return.
The Covenant of Shadows is a full-length dark romance with an obsessive antihero, a fierce heroine, supernatural elements, explicit content, and a cliffhanger ending. Book 1 of The Ebony Crown Trilogy. Intended for readers 18+.
