At eighteen, Richard Phoenix is inducted into the Order of the Crows-a secret brotherhood founded by the Duke of Wellington in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, named for the dark, tattered cloaks of his soldiers. As the Order's newest descendant, Richard must navigate the dangerous waters of his youth. Between mocking his rival schoolmates-the Owls-and navigating a romance that promises heartbreaking consequences, his teenage years seem complicated enough. But a far darker truth looms beneath the surface.
For his own safety, Richard and his beloved sibling were kept in the dark about their family's true legacy. But ignorance proves to be a deadly shield. When corpses begin appearing, twisted into horrific works of art, blood drips across the shadows of his city, and Richard is forced to face a gruesome reality: the Owls are nothing compared to the true evil hunting him.
Targeted by a shadowy threat wielding a wicked hooked blade, Richard refuses to back down. Armed with unrelenting resolve, he will bring pain to anyone who dares harm his family.
Follow Richard's long, perilous journey from his turbulent teenage years to his eventual legacy, where his son, Percival Phoenix, must step out from his father's shadow and finally bring an end to the darkest of nights.
