Lace and Judgement (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798295603327)

He was trained to deliver judgment.

She was never meant to survive it.

In a modern world that hides magic behind law, faith, and silence, Cassian Rook serves as one of the Sanctum's most lethal Saints-an executioner bound by sacred oaths and absolute obedience. He does not question his orders. He does not hesitate. Until he is commanded to eliminate Liliane Alira Kestrel, a woman whose very existence threatens the foundation of the Sanctum's power.

Liliane is no innocent. She wields dangerous, ancient magic and carries secrets the Sanctum would burn cities to erase. When Cassian chooses mercy instead of obedience, he shatters every vow that has defined him, branding himself a traitor and igniting a chain of consequences neither of them can escape.

Hunted by the order that forged him and drawn deeper into Liliane's orbit, Cassian must confront the truth of what he is becoming as old powers awaken and the line between devotion and damnation begins to blur. In a world ruled by hidden monsters and sacred lies, love becomes both a weapon and a liability.

Lace and Judgment is a dark romantasy set on modern Earth, blending gothic atmosphere, morally gray characters, forbidden devotion, and feral romantic tension. It is the first book in a planned series, while standing firmly as a complete and emotionally resonant story.
