The Seal: Innocence Lost
An immortal businessman. A young woman. A malevolent ring. Bargains made in the shadows.
Elora had no doubt she was a heroine.
But as she watches life unfold from the pinnacle of Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower-a business intern with everything going for her-she feels as if she is trapped in a glass display case. Then, when enigmatic British executive Thomas Cumberwell arrives in Texas, his courtship turns her life upside down. Thomas is not merely an eccentric magnate-he is four centuries old, bound to a sinister, supernatural signet ring that harbors appetites of its own....
The ring manifests its spirit to Elora in the guise of a velvety black cat, opening its golden eyes and purring, I am your friend....
When Lady Clarewell, Thomas's vengeful, centuries-old adversary, strikes-slaughtering Elora's family-the young intern is plunged into an international occult underworld that reaches from the boardroom of the ancient, Illuminati-like organization, Fortuna Mundi, to a fairy-tale Florentine mansion. Isolated in her grief, she must face the horrifying truth: despite Thomas's devotion to her, the satanic entity that coils around his finger does not wish her well. It is hunting her and wants to possess her.
To survive, Elora must play a high-stakes psychological game with the unholy thing that whispers in her head while fighting to rehabilitate the man who brought its curse into her life.
Lush, atmospheric, and steeped in psychological dread, The Seal: Innocence Lost is a contemporary dark urban fantasy and paranormal romance thriller that explores the fragile boundary between identity and deception. Silvia Moreno-Garcia meets Dan Brown and Tosca Lee.
"Masterful prose."-Jody Lynn Nye, author of the MythAdventures series
