Aria vale / "Raven vale"
Once soft, once in love, once framed.
A prodigy in med school with dreams of healing, now reborn in shadows. Raven is calculated, elegant, and lethal. Her voice may tremble, but her hands never do, not when they're stitching wounds… or slicing through betrayal.
Elias Thorne
Powerful, dangerous, magnetic.
He was her fiancé, her weakness, her ruin. Now he's her obsession—and maybe still her undoing. But Elias has secrets of his own.
And maybe he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger, but he sure as hell handed someone the gun.
Detective Malek Rowe
Sharp mind. Sharper jawline.
A man who never believed Aria was guilty. Now drawn to Raven in all the wrong ways. He's chasing a killer, but he might catch feelings instead. And feelings? They'll get you killed.
