Danse Macabre

Is it still justice if the innocent bleed?

Louie Thorne was never meant to be seen.
She moves through shadows, kills without consequence, and leaves nothing behind but bodies and burning empires. With her impossible ability to be anywhere at any time, she has become the world's most feared ghost—an executioner for those who believe they're untouchable.

But revenge is a clean story only until doubt creeps in.

Haunted by the memory of her father's murder and shaken by a kill she can't forget, Lou begins to question the rules she's lived by. When a relentless young reporter starts pulling at the loose threads of her past, Lou's anonymity—and her carefully constructed sense of justice—begins to unravel.

As powerful enemies close in and the line between guilty and innocent blurs, Lou is forced to confront the one question she's avoided for years:

What happens when the monster starts to look back at you?

Danse Macabre is a razor-sharp vigilante thriller packed with brutal action, moral reckoning, and a heroine who refuses to be redeemed easily. Perfect for readers who crave dark anti-heroes, high-stakes suspense, and stories that ask uncomfortable questions long after the final page.

This is the third book in the Shadows in the Water series.
