A hidden legacy. A hunger that can never be satisfied.

Former Detective Inspector Lisa Harper thought she understood darkness after years on the police force – until she discovered she was born into it.

Inheriting her late mother’s ancestral home forces Lisa into the shadows of Oakhaven, where the trees hold secrets and the stone walls breathe with ancient magic.

She retreats into isolation, attempting to understand what she is becoming, but the more she learns about her own power, the less she recognises herself. The grounding magic of the earth offers no solace. The rational mind of a detective cannot comprehend the changes taking root within her. And when a predatory force begins hunting through London’s shadows – psychically harvesting the life force of the desperate and the talented – Lisa realises she may be the only one who can stop it.

To save anyone, she will first have to survive herself.

Her story began in The Black Oak. It continues in Tainted Nectar: Book One of The Unwilling Heiress series.
