When a high-profile socialite is found brutally murdered, her chest hollowed and black velvet petals scattered like a signature, Marin is thrust into a case that's both eerily familiar and dangerously personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crime scene reeks of charmcraft-dark, precise, and unmistakable. The evidence points toward Lucian Drake, a notorious charm dealer with a history tangled in Marin's past. But Lucian's name isn't the only one whispered in the shadows. Selene Ward, a rogue charmcrafter thought to be nothing more than a ghost, has resurfaced, and her deadly spells leave more than just bodies in their wake-they leave marks on the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Marin digs deeper, she uncovers a web of corruption woven through Valemire's elite, secret societies like The Crimson Veil, and a sinister force known only as \u003cem\u003eThe Velvet Hex\u003c\/em\u003e. The victims aren't random. Each murder is a message, part of a larger design connected to forbidden magic capable of bending wills and erasing identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaunted by her own history with Lucian and the dark past she's tried to bury, Marin must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems. Allies have hidden motives, and every clue pulls her closer to a truth she isn't ready to face-that some spells never break, and some ghosts refuse to stay dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeadly Charms: The Velvet Hex\u003c\/em\u003e is a gritty, spellbinding noir where murder meets magic, loyalty is an illusion, and the real danger isn't what's hidden in the dark-it's what's standing right in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elara Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798230865254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trucky World Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Elara Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49166573076735,"sku":"9798230865254","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deadly-charms-elara-quinn-9798230865254","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
