The fires have cooled, but the war is only beginning.

San Diego wears its scars like open wounds—streets lined with ash, silence carved into its bones. Aranda's network bleeds but does not die. The prosecutor sharpens her knives. And whispers rise of new players eager to claim the city's ruins for themselves.

Raven James can no longer disappear into the shadows. Her face, her voice, her bloodline belong to the war now. Bound to Damian Reyes by desire, fury, and the ledger that refuses to stay buried, Raven must decide whether to wield the truth—or let it consume her.

Damian demands loyalty.
Aranda promises freedom.
And every choice Raven makes carves deeper into a city already burning.

But every oath demands blood.
And some debts cannot be buried in ash.

The Court of Shadows continues in this dark, gripping sequel where survival is rebellion, love is a weapon, and every breath is paid for in blood.
