Four centuries undead, ruthlessly controlled, he is trusted to investigate crimes that could tear the supernatural balance apart. He feeds discreetly, kills when necessary, and never lets desire compromise the job.Eleanor Hexwood is a witch who breaks rules for a living. Brilliant, blunt, and dangerously compassionate, she asks questions powerful beings would rather bury — and she refuses to look away when blood starts spilling.Forced into an uneasy alliance, Voss and Hexwood follow the trail through occult salons, feral gangs, and corrupted courts — toward an artefact older than empires. One that can twist luck, heal the dying, and turn hunger itself into a weapon.The First Heart should never have resurfaced.And it should never have chosen a human.As bodies fall and alliances fracture, loyalty becomes currency, desire becomes leverage, and survival demands payment in blood.A dark, sensual urban fantasy noir of murder, power, and dangerous intimacy — where monsters have rules, love is a liability, and every choice leaves a scar.
