In Ravenholt, the rain never cleanses the streets. It drowns them.
A dead fighter. A missing boy. A drug that burns like magic.
Detective Selene Rowan navigates the city with a badge on her belt and a migraine fueled by the city's magical resonance. When a retired pit fighter is found dead with a shredded heart and veins black with "Scorch," the police dismiss it as an overdose. But Selene knows better. Standing over the body, she feels the cold, sharp static of an execution.
The dead man was a guardian to the only family he had left: two brothers running out of shadows to hide in. Now, the crime lord Anthony Graves is coming for them.
With Dane—a wolf-shifter partner who treats police procedure as a suggestion—Selene must descend into the city’s gut to break Graves’s grip. But in a place built on blood and broken promises, saving the boys requires more than a badge. It requires stepping back into the shadows she knows too well.
Before the dusk falls, the copper rain will claim its due.
This is a standalone prequel novella serving as an introduction to the world of Ravenholt.
