The Deadly Vows

Rowan Lockwood isn’t like anyone else. Born a rare witch-werewolf hybrid—something that shouldn’t even exist—he’s been treated as an outcast despite his loving family. In a world where witches and werewolves protect humans from the monsters of the night, Rowan must prove himself. At seventeen, every witch and werewolf faces a rite of passage: their first kill. Defeat a monster, gain your mark, and step fully into your power. But Rowan’s path is different—he must pass tests for both species. His challenge leads him to a wendigo, but he’s not alone. Helping her is Damien Ivanov, a handsome, charismatic vampire whose presence stirs something he can’t ignore. Against all odds, Rowan kills the wendigo and earns his mark. Yet the connection he feels with Damien is undeniable. He’s his mate—a bond thought impossible for a hybrid. While Damien wants to explore the pull between them, Rowan resists, determined to keep his focus. But when a serial killer begins murdering couples in their quiet town of Cupid’s Hollow, stealing their hearts, they’re drawn together. United by a shared love for mysteries, Rowan and Damien must uncover the killer’s identity before more lives are lost. As danger mounts, so does the flame between them. In each other, they discover not only the truth behind the murders but also secrets about themselves—secrets that could change their world forever.
