Blood Crown

Sallow Creek is a safe harbor town - if you never ask who keeps it safe.
For thirty years, the Vance family has ruled from the mansion above the docks: a mayor who owns the city's loyalty, a police chief who buries its secrets, and four sons trained to protect the family crown.
Then nineteen-year-old Wren Halloway witnesses a killing in Warehouse 14 and escapes into the rain. Detective Mara Sloane believes her. Mara also carries the notebook of her missing father, whose final words point to the same family on the hill.
As one witness becomes a threat and four brothers begin turning against the inheritance that shaped them, Sallow Creek's oldest silence starts to fracture. Because every empire has a loose thread - and this one is running for her life.
Blood Crown is an atmospheric crime thriller about tion, family loyalty, survival, and the cost of finally telling the truth.
