The Crown Behind the Table

One red envelope. One ancient Crown. One woman the old world was never supposed to fear. A year after the fall of the Black Table, Evelyn Hart has turned a house of secrets into a sanctuary for survivors. But peace shatters when a blood-red invitation arrives at Halcyon Witness House, marked with a thorn-split crown and a command that drags her toward Prague. The Table was only one room. Beneath the gothic streets of Prague waits something older, richer, and far more patient than the dynasty Evelyn destroyed. The Crown does not merely buy silence. It inherits it. It crowns women, binds bloodlines, buries witnesses, and turns family history into law. Cassian Vale knows danger when it wears wealth like a second skin. He wants to protect Evelyn, but love cannot become another cage. If he stands beside her, he must face the truth his own family left buried: his parents, the Crown, and the compact that may have shaped every betrayal that came before. In Prague, every door has a price. Every name is evidence. Every kiss feels like a vow made under threat. As Evelyn uncovers the hidden history of her mother, the mysterious Adela Voss-Kral, and the bride who once wrote a name in blood beneath the Astronomical Clock, she realizes the Crown does not want her dead. It wants her claimed. But Evelyn Hart was not made to kneel. Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, The Crown Behind the Table is Book Two of The Black Table Dynasty, a gothic billionaire secret society romance filled with danger, power, obsession, family secrets, and a heroine determined to break every throne built from silence. Contains mature dark romantic suspense themes.
