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, whose presence fills her with inexplicable fear, want from her? 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, Westbreak is rocked by brutal murders 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 increasingly drawn into 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 surface, they could destroy everything. Black Lavender is now available on Amazon, Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.
