A dark college romance debut where a secret-society assassin is ordered to eliminate his assigned target—until obsession turns the hunt into possession—set at a gothic university and inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and Appalachian folklore.
THE CROW
Freedom has a price. Mine was blood.
The Order of Graveston pulled me from a prison cell and made me their weapon. By day, I’m a student. By night, I’m a Crow, one of four sworn to protect their secrets.
We vow. We obey. We erase.
I don’t question assignments until Cadence Whitmore’s name lands in my file: get close, gain her trust, end the threat. She was supposed to be a job. Instead, she becomes the one thing I refuse to lose.
If the Order makes me choose between my freedom and her—
They’ll remember why they locked me in a cage.
THE MARKED
Graveston runs on power, and I know something I shouldn’t, something the Order would bury. Carver Vale watches me like I already belong to him, controlled and certain.
I tell myself he’s a warning.
But the more he circles, the more I understand the truth.
