Inhaltsangabe

He was trained to enforce the Court’s laws. He never expected his greatest threat to be a human retail manager with a fragile heart.

For three years, Leo built his quiet life around the comforting, steady presence of his deputy manager, Callum. But after a sudden, unexplained disappearance at a corporate gala, Leo is left picking up the pieces of a shattered mind and a dangerously weak heart. His therapist insists Callum was just a phantom of grief.

They are both wrong.

Callum didn't leave. For four agonizing months, he has been hiding in the dark subterranean tunnels beneath Blackwood Cross, starving himself to protect the fragile human whose heart spikes at his very touch. As an Enforcer for an ancient immortal Court, Callum’s cardinal rule was simple: never reveal yourself to mortals, and never love them.

When an Auditor arrives with a 24-hour execution order for Callum’s treason, Leo refuses to be a helpless bystander. Using his sharp logistical mind and a deep knowledge of the city's ancient architecture, Leo teams up with the monster who loved him from the dark to lay a deadly trap.

Bound by stolen kisses, ancient secrets, and an impossible choice—Leo must decide if he’s ready to face mortality, or step into the shadows forever.
