Glass Veins

When Detective Mara Vale takes on a string of brutal murders in the decaying port city of Ashwick, she expects blood, but not the kind that seeps into her dreams. The victims are all found with their veins slit open, shards of glass replacing their blood, and cryptic phrases carved into their skin.

The deeper Mara digs, the more the case turns on itself. Every suspect has a secret, every ally hides a knife, and the truth feels stitched together with lies. Her only solace comes from Rowan, a brilliant but unpredictable forensic artist whose attraction to Mara blurs the line between comfort and manipulation.

As the bodies pile up, Mara begins to suffer vivid hallucinations, rooms melting into gore, shadows whispering her name, reflections that move when she doesn't. The case is no longer about catching a killer; it's about holding on to her sanity.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the killer isn't just hunting strangers, they're inside her life, inside her mind, and they know exactly how to make her bleed.

A labyrinth of obsession, betrayal, and psychological horror, Glass Veins will keep you guessing until the last shard falls.
