Behind the Iron Gate
Description
When three are slain behind the iron gate, look for the signs of the sea.
Once, Viviana Krane ran from her family's towering legacy, and her grief. From the gossip columns and whispers. From the memory of the sister she couldn't save. Leaving was meant to set her free. Instead, it ended in humiliation. Now, she's back in Nuva Troi to finish her graduate studies, and is determined to keep out of the gossip columns. But the watchful eyes of a city in turmoil are always on her. The Immortal Orders are more at odds with one another than ever, and no matter how hard Viviana tries, the relentless feeling that she has forgotten something dangerous haunts her.
Casimir Sanvier came to Nuva Troi with a dark secret, and an ambition to take the House of Remiel's throne. Viviana Krane is nothing more than a distraction-a witch from a family that would see him destroyed. But the moment they meet at Alcaia University, something dangerous between them ignites. When they witness a brutal murder on campus, their slow-burn attraction tangles with a deadly mystery that will expose secrets about their families... and the Immortal Orders that rule them all.
When two more humans are slain, suspicion falls on Viviana and Casimir. Forced together to clear their names, they must unravel the mystery of the murders before the city tears itself apart-and before the truth shatters everything they know about their history, their bonds, and the dark heart of Nuva Troi.
Behind the Iron Gate is the sizzling next-generation sequel to The Immortal Orders. A seductive blend of dark academia, modern romantasy and murder mystery, perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches and Crescent City.
