Detective Mara Quinn has never been a stranger to shadows. From her earliest days in the force, she learned that crime is more than the act itself—it is the residue of history, memory, and often, secrets best left buried. Yet nothing in her twenty-five years of chasing killers prepared her for the case that would reach into the very roots of her family and the ancient covenants that shaped a nation’s darkest past.

Set against the brooding landscapes of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and stretching back to the windswept isle of Summerisle, The Midnight Covenant explores a tapestry of bloodlines and betrayals, where justice is as much a matter of ritual as it is of law. When a series of ritualistic murders echoes the forgotten oaths of a centuries-old secret society, Mara must confront the legacy her mother tried to hide and the deadly consequences of a covenant never truly broken.

This is not just a story about solving crimes—it is a journey into the heart of history’s lingering grip on the present, a fight against forces that believe the past demands repayment in blood. As Mara walks the thin line between hunter and hunted, she must decide how far she will go to break the cycle—and what she is willing to sacrifice to stop it.

Welcome to the shadows where folklore and fact intertwine, and where the truth may be the most dangerous secret of all.
