Sadie thought surviving the Phoenix Queen would be the hard part.

She was wrong.

Back in Vermont, with a haunted bloodline, an immortal Templar at her side, and a supernatural world still trying to decide whether she is a weapon or a threat, Sadie should be enjoying a little peace. Instead, a new relic surfaces—one tied to Portugal’s dead queens, a stolen compass rose, and a legend old enough to make even Richard go quiet.

The Rose of the Dead is not just an artifact. It is a map, a key, and a warning.

When the trail pulls Sadie and Richard across the Atlantic, they find themselves tangled in monastery secrets, drowned ghosts, Vatican politics, and a conspiracy that has been waiting centuries to bloom. But every answer comes with a cost, and every piece of the Rose brings Sadie closer to the truth of what she is—and what others believe she can be used to awaken.

Ancient queens are watching.

The dead are not staying buried.
