THE IMMORTAL'S ALIBI

He has lived for three centuries.

He has never needed an alibi.

Until someone murders a man who died in 1944.

Elara Quinn knows how to manage disasters. In her world, every crisis has a cause, every secret has a price, and every lie eventually leaves a trace.

Then a mysterious message leads her to a private library, where she discovers a murdered man whose identity should be impossible.

According to every official record, he died more than eighty years ago.

The only person who seems to understand what Elara has found is Adrian Vale—a powerful, enigmatic man with an impossible past, a dangerous ability to influence minds, and secrets that reach back centuries.

Adrian should be the last person Elara trusts.

Instead, he may be the only person who can keep her alive.

As Elara begins to uncover the truth, she discovers that her own bloodline is connected to something far older than the murder. She is a Witness—someone capable of seeing memories hidden in blood, lies, and places where the past refuses to remain buried.

And Adrian has been waiting for a Witness for a very long time.

Their investigation draws them into a hidden world of immortals, secret societies, forbidden memories, and an ancient conflict that has been shaping human history from the shadows.

But the deeper Elara goes, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because Adrian is not the only immortal hiding a secret.

Amelia, the woman he loved and lost long ago, may still have a role to play.

The mysterious Choir is hunting Elara.

The Veiled are preparing for war.

And something older than all of them is beginning to awaken.

To uncover the truth, Elara will have to decide what she is willing to remember—and what she is willing to forget.

Because some memories are not memories at all.

They are warnings.

And the future is not written.

It is remembered.
