Deadly Charms: The Velvet Hex

In the shadow-drenched city of Valemire, where charmcraft is as common as crime, Detective Marin Vale walks the thin line between law and magic. 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.The 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.As 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 The Velvet Hex. 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.Haunted 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.Deadly Charms: The Velvet Hex 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.
