The Kin Notation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182380805)

Some bloodlines do not die. They remember.

Luke Richardson is a man of wealth, refinement, and impossible history. To the public, he is an oil magnate, collector, and philanthropist. To those who have spent years hunting him, he is something far older, far crueler, and far more dangerous than any rumor could explain.

When Angeline Carter accepts an invitation to one of Luke's private dinners, she expects elegance, mystery, and the strange charm of a powerful man. What she finds instead is a world built on secrets: missing women, forgotten names, old records, and a symbol that should have stayed buried.

A circle.

A line.

A mark passed through blood.

Jonathan Cross has spent twenty years chasing the truth behind Luke Richardson. James Mercer never meant to become part of that hunt. But after a violent encounter leaves James marked by something ancient, the truth begins to change him from the inside out.

Luke is not merely a monster.

James is not merely a man.

And Angeline may be the one person Luke cannot possess.

As the past begins to surface and the bloodline reveals itself, those drawn into Luke's world must decide what is more terrifying: the immortal who has ruled from the shadows for centuries, or the inheritance waking inside the people meant to stop him.

The Kin Notation is a gothic supernatural thriller about blood, memory, obsession, and the terrible things that survive through generations.
