Summary
Once a student of the Mourn Watch, Rook left behind the arcane halls of the Grand Necropolis to embrace life in the shadows—where steel and silence serve him better than magic ever did. Now, years later, fate has pulled him back into the path of Professor Emmrich Volkarin, the man who once mentored him, and the one secret he’s never quite buried.
Rook does everything he can to keep his past hidden while fighting against the clock and the Evanuris alongside his team —but Emmrich’s sharp gaze lingers too long, his questions dig too deep, and the quiet tension between them hums with something more than curiosity. Memories of stolen glances and unspoken desires resurface, but what was once forbidden as student and teacher now tempts them with possibilities neither are sure they’re ready to face.
As the ghosts of their past collide with the dangers of the present, Rook must decide—continue hiding in the shadows, or finally step into the light of what might have been.
Secrets, longing, and second chances await in The Watcher’s Shadow, where the dead aren’t the only ones haunting the halls of the Necropolis.
