A poet haunted by loss. A lover marked by blood. A sister shut behind asylum walls.
Paris 1898. In the dark shadows of the City of Light, Averill Charron makes a devil’s bargain. To rescue his sister–locked away by their father–he turns to the last man he should trust, Blaise Dancier, the crime lord who once ordered his death.
No longer enemies. Now they are lovers. Together they descend into the underworld, searching cabarets and crypts, brothels and back alleys, chasing whispers that lead them to deception and death.
Even as they hunt, Jeanette fights her own battles. But escape only leads to recapture. Once again, she’s trapped in a world where only dreams of forbidden love and the promise of revenge keep her sane.
Their paths converge during the drowning beauty of Venice at Carnevale, where every mask conceals a threat. In a world ruled by power, madness, and betrayal, love may be the final sacrifice.
A HARMONY OF HELLS…a love story with murders.
