Even After Death

Dominic Hale was sixteen when Vivienne Ashford destroyed his family. She stole his mother Eleanor’s final masterpiece—a painting called “The Unbroken”—burned the original, and claimed the work as her own, building an art empire on the lie. Eleanor died in the flames trying to save it. Only a torn fragment survived. Ten years later, Dominic returns to Ashford City—no longer the helpless boy who fled, but the legendary Shadow King, the covert operative who single-handedly turned the tide of the Karethwyn War. He carries his mother’s fragment in a battered leather case and a single vow: restore her legacy and burn Vivienne’s world to ash. When he crashes Vivienne’s exclusive art gala—held in the penthouse built atop his mother’s destroyed studio, Dominic doesn’t just seek revenge. He seeks to reclaim everything stolen: his mother’s name, his sister’s freedom, and the truth buried under a decade of lies. But his return collides with Celeste Monroe, the woman he once saved, now trapped in an arranged marriage to Vivienne’s cowardly son Tristan. As old loyalties resurface and enemies close in, Dominic must decide: will he become the monster Vivienne created, or will he prove his mother’s belief—that some things remain unbroken, no matter how the world tries to shatter them?
