Black Lavender

After her mother's death, Annie Lewis is unable to mourn—their relationship was never a loving one. But at a charity ball, she meets Thomas Kresley, a mysterious stranger who knew her in a way she never did. But what does this man want from her, whose presence fills her with inexplicable fear? Why does he answer all her questions with lies? And what dark secrets connect the Kresley family and Westbreak to her mother?

While Annie searches for answers, brutal murders are happening in Westbreak, linked to the creatures of the Shadow Realm. They are driven by a single goal: to find the ancient amulet that can break the curse of the immortals. Annie finds herself drifting closer and closer to the center of the magical world, where vampires, witches, and phantoms fight for survival and power. But while they battle each other, a danger approaches that even together they may not be able to defeat.

Annie must realize that the magical world and her mother's secrets are inseparable from each other and from her own destiny. She must also prepare herself for the fact that her suppressed feelings are more dangerous than the creatures of the Shadow Realm—and if they come to the surface, they could destroy everything.
