Beneath the Obsidian Veil

Details

In the desolate, wind-swept halls of Blackwood Sanctum, Lenore Alastair maintains a terrible vigil. For five years, she has tended to the sealed chamber of Lord Rathborn, the infamous tyrant whose reign of terror she — and her ancestors — barely managed to halt. He lies in a magically induced slumber, a monstrous power muted, a threat contained. Her quiet life, haunted by the specter of his past atrocities, is dedicated to ensuring he never wakes. But fate, or perhaps a lingering curse, intervenes. Rathborn stirs, awakening with no memory of his heinous deeds, his cruel power, or the woman who imprisoned him. Now, faced with his formidable presence and a chilling flicker of his former darkness, Lenore weaves a desperate lie: she is his loyal consort, the forgotten lady of his domain. Trapped in a gilded cage of her own making, she must navigate his unnerving charm and nascent possessiveness, praying her deception holds before the sleeping serpent remembers its fangs and the true nature of their entwined, bloody history.
