Her name was written in a ledger twenty-five years before she was born. Elara Voss has spent years believing her father’s murder was a tragedy with no answers. Then she finds what he died trying to hide—a black ledger filled with impossible names, forbidden agreements, and one entry that makes her blood run cold. Her own name. The problem? The entry is dated twenty-five years before her birth. Before Elara can uncover who wrote it, Roman Devereux comes for the ledger. He is the ruthless heir to one of Europe’s most feared criminal empires, a man raised on secrets and taught never to question the rules protecting his family’s power. But Roman is hiding something far more dangerous than a criminal empire. His family has spent generations guarding an ancient agreement between humanity and a civilization of wolves living unseen among them. And Elara was never supposed to discover that world. When an old contract mysteriously binds Elara to Roman, neither of them trusts the other. She believes he knows the truth about her father. He believes she may be the key to a secret that could destroy everything his family has protected. Yet the more they investigate together, the harder it becomes to deny the attraction between them. Because someone is rewriting the past. Someone erased Elara from supernatural history. And someone is willing to start a war between humans and wolves to keep the truth buried. Roman was sworn to protect the secret. Elara was never supposed to exist. But if they uncover the truth behind The Black Ledger, they may discover that the greatest danger isn't the war waiting to begin— it's the truth about why her name was written there in the first place.
