Professor Drusilla St. Augustine has set a trap. To flush out a mole inside their secret society, she’s planted a fake artifact in a historic Florida inn. The plan is simple: two different sets of intel have been leaked. All Lilah and her partner, Raven, have to do is watch and see who takes the bait.
But the trap doesn't spring. The artifact isn't stolen by a shadowy operative; it's innocently borrowed by a bored old lady looking for a good read. The misdirect reveals a chilling truth: the mole isn't the one who was supposed to steal the book. It’s the one who sent a team to the other location from the briefing—the treacherous underwater caves. And his betrayal is about to turn deadly.
Lilah must confront a terrifying new reality: to win, she may have to become as ruthless as the enemies she hunts. With Raven’s steady presence her only anchor in a sea of betrayal, she must decide what’s more dangerous: the mission falling apart, or the risk of finally letting him in.
Lorna Tedder writes dark fiction full of magical elements, usually in the genres of paranormal suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal women’s fiction. She lives in Florida in a 100-year-old bungalow with hardwood floors and odd architectural nooks and crannies, and she walks barefoot in the sand and surf as often as possible, usually while plotting her next novel and especially in thunderstorms.
