Reflected In Obsidian

di Celeste Vane (Autore)

Indigo Pen Press, 2026

Some secrets are buried in vaults. Others are burned into the people who survive them. At nineteen, Roxanne Sterling watched her world disappear in fire. Her father was murdered. Her sister was lost. And the only clues left behind were a dying man's warning, a black obsidian symbol, and a name Roxanne would spend eight years trying to understand. Now twenty-seven, she has transformed survival into expertise. An extraordinary specialist in acoustic architecture, Roxanne can hear what buildings conceal: hollow walls, hidden chambers, listening devices, structural weaknesses. She has built a life around exposing the secrets buried inside stone. Then Julian Thorne walks into her locked London studio. Brilliant, ruthless, scarred by his own years in darkness, Julian commands an international security empire and carries secrets that intersect violently with Roxanne's past. He also possesses something she desperately needs: a path toward the truth about the night her family was destroyed. Their search leads to a fortress above the sea, an impossible vault engineered around sound, hidden financial records, Swiss banks, Venetian palaces, and a clandestine network whose influence reaches far beyond anything Roxanne imagined. At its center waits Hector Vance, the powerful man who helped rebuild her life after the fire. And possibly the man who destroyed it. Every revelation pulls Roxanne and Julian deeper into a conspiracy built on stolen fortunes, buried evidence and decades of carefully manufactured silence. But the closer they move toward the truth, the more dangerous their growing connection becomes. Because Julian understands Roxanne in a way no one else ever has. He knows what it means to turn scars into armor. She understands the darkness he refuses to name. And somewhere between locked rooms, shattered glass and impossible choices, two people who survived by trusting no one begin to trust each other. Their enemies believe everyone has a price. Roxanne and Julian are about to prove that some debts can only be paid in truth. Darkly atmospheric, emotionally charged and relentlessly suspenseful, Reflected in Obsidian blends romantic suspense, international conspiracy, psychological intrigue and high-stakes adventure into a story about secrets, scars, betrayal and two survivors discovering that the strongest fortress is not the one that keeps everyone out. Perfect for readers who crave intelligent heroines, dangerous secrets, powerful protective heroes, sophisticated international settings, slow-burning attraction, hidden vaults, morally complicated enemies and romance forged under impossible pressure.
