In the Shadow of Vows: Silence wasn't protection. It was complicity.

A dynasty built on silence.
A mother who won't stay quiet.
A secret powerful enough to destroy them all.

When Daniel Magnus-the youngest son of one of Europe's most powerful families-is found dead, the official story is suicide. But his mother, Eleanor, knows better.

She may be aging. She may be blind.
But she's no longer willing to play along.

As the elite Magnus family prepares for their most lavish gala yet, Eleanor begins to unearth the truth hidden behind years of loyalty, betrayal, and buried sins. What she discovers is a legacy steeped in corruption, cover-ups, and quiet crimes-carefully concealed by her ruthless daughter Lydia, her calculating heir Victor, and a family sworn to never break ranks.

But secrets don't stay dead forever.
And Eleanor is done keeping her vows.

From the icy halls of Swiss mansions to the smoke-stained woods of Austria, In the Shadow of Vows is a slow-burn literary thriller brimming with psychological tension, high-stakes family drama, and a haunting question:

What if the person you need to protect the world from... is your own blood?

Fans of Succession, The Secret History, and The House of Gucci will devour this gripping tale of power, guilt, and the devastating cost of silence.
