For as long as she can remember, Erika Raine has called the monastery home. Raised by priests and nuns, she was taught discipline, faith, and purpose—yet something about her was always off. Shadows clung to her in ways they shouldn’t. Reflections lingered a second too long. No one spoke of it, but she saw the fear in their eyes. Then the attack came. Fleeing into a world she barely understands, Erika is hunted for reasons she doesn’t yet know. And in the whispers of the supernatural underworld, one name resurfaces again and again—The Black Ledger. No one knows where it is. No map can find it. It appears only when it wants to be found. And within its walls, the rare, the cursed, and the forsaken are sold to the highest bidder. Now, the Auctioneer waits. And Erika is the prize he intends to collect. 🔥 Dark fantasy | Supernatural thriller | Gothic suspense
