She talks to the dead for money. He kills the living for free. Vivian Smith has built a comfortable life on fake séances and theatrical lies, keeping her real necromancy carefully hidden. One spirit refuses to be ignored, shattering her barriers with visions of an ancient evil called the Architect-and now every supernatural force in London wants a piece of her power. Dominic Ashworth, her Midnight Society assigned bodyguard, is immortal, lethal, and entirely too good at making her forget why falling for a man forged from shadows is a terrible idea. He's supposed to keep her alive. Instead, he's making her want to live-really live-for the first time in years. The threats escalate. The chemistry burns hotter. Vivian's carefully constructed walls are crumbling, both around her heart and her power. Someone needs to stop the Architect before he completes his resurrection. Someone needs to survive long enough to do it. Can love bloom in the space between life and death? Or will embracing her true power cost Vivian everything-including the immortal shadow wielder who's claimed her heart?
