The First Secrets
Power has a price. Love has a body count.
At twenty-four, Killian Thorne has everything the world covets: a global empire, a silhouette that haunts high-society dreams, and more money than God. But behind the glass walls of his Manhattan penthouse, Killian is a man rotting from the inside out. He is the bearer of a Primal Curse—a dark, ancient magic that ensures anyone he dares to love meets a violent, inexplicable end.
He’s spent years building a cold, untouchable fortress around his heart, using his billions to hunt for a cure in the shadows of the occult. But the ice shatters when he meets Elara, a woman who recognizes the flickering violet flame in his eyes—because she’s running from a magical debt of her own.
As an ancient secret society emerges from the boardrooms of the elite to reclaim Killian’s power, he is forced to make a lethal choice:
Does he protect his empire, or does he risk Elara’s life to break the curse that has defined his bloodline for centuries?
In a world where magic is the ultimate currency and secrets are written in blood, Killian is about to learn that the "First Secrets" are the ones you were never meant to survive.
