The Thirteenth Banquet (Preorder 10/1/2026)

Twenty guests.

Ten couples.

One black envelope.

And a dinner invitation no one remembers accepting.

Every century, the most powerful supernatural bloodlines are summoned to Blood Oath Manor for a ritual whispered about but rarely survived

The Thirteenth Banquet.

They arrive dressed for dinner.

They arrive with the people they love.

And every single one of them arrives carrying a secret.

At midnight, the doors lock.

The candles extinguish.

And a message appears across the dining room wall:

CONFESS.

OR DIE.

The first guest laughs.

Minutes later, he’s dead.

Now every confession reveals another piece of an ancient riddle, every death brings the Manor closer to completing a ritual no one understands, and somewhere among the twenty guests is someone who was never supposed to be invited.

She thinks it’s her.

She’s human.

At least…that’s what she’s believed her entire life.

She entered Blood Oath Manor on the arm of one of the most dangerous werewolves alive.

But when a man who hasn’t loved another woman since burying his queen decades ago looks across the banquet table and sees her…

he recognizes something she doesn’t.

And suddenly surviving the night isn’t her only problem.

Because Blood Oath Manor didn’t invite her by mistake.

It has been waiting for her.
