Hope de l'Ancre

The Crimson Room

by @Adrian Crow

Some doors should never be opened. Detective Rowan Styles has spent years chasing monsters no one else believes exist. Ever since the night she ignored her sister's desperate call for help, a decision that ended in an unimaginably brutal death. Rowan has been haunted by guilt and consumed by the need for answers. When a series of savage murders tears through the city, each victim left with wounds no human could inflict, Rowan is pulled into an investigation that defies everything she thought she knew. Every clue points toward an impossible truth. Every witness disappears. Every answer leads to another body. Her only ally is Sebastian Chambers, a mysterious investigator whose knowledge of the killings is as unsettling as the secrets he refuses to share. Together they descend into a hidden world where ancient predators walk unnoticed among humanity, forgotten legends are terrifyingly real, and a place known only as The Crimson Room may hold the key to stopping a nightmare centuries in the making. But the deeper Rowan digs, the more she begins to question whether she's hunting the monsters... ...or whether they've been watching her all along. Perfect for readers who love supernatural thrillers, creature horror, slow-burn romance, shocking twists, and dark conspiracies, The Crimson Room is the chilling first installment in The Red Ledger Series... where every monster leaves a story, and every story is written in blood.
