Vow of Betrayal: A Dark Syndicate Romance
I traded one monster for another. Now, I have to save him.
As a forensic analyst for the Canopy-the pristine, untouchable elite of Meridian Point-I spent my life erasing the crimes of the most dangerous men in the city. When my own employers put a target on my back, I did the mathematically impossible: I defected to the Bilge, the rotting underworld, and sought the protection of its apex predator.
Drazen Morvath is the brutal, unforgiving head of the Covenant. He is a warlord sculpted from violence and paranoia, a man who built his empire in the dark. To secure my survival, I signed the Rite of Aegis. A blood-pact. An arranged marriage. Sovereignty in exchange for absolute submission.
It was supposed to be a flawless transaction. We were supposed to be co-conspirators divided by a cold, impenetrable perimeter.
But Drazen is dying.
A bespoke neurotoxin is eating his nervous system, a betrayal orchestrated by his own uncle and the Canopy elites I fled. Obsessed with his own martyrdom, Drazen engineers a suicidal heist-a spectacular, explosive finale designed to destroy our enemies and leave me legally untethered. He plans to sacrifice himself to ensure I breathe.
He severely miscalculated.
I am a cleaner. I do not walk away from crime scenes, and I refuse to inherit a graveyard. I will hijack his glorious suicide, I will synthesize the cure, and I will burn Meridian Point to its bedrock before I let my husband die.
They thought we were an alliance of convenience. They are about to learn what happens when a forensic ghost and a dying king rewrite the architecture of revenge.
