The Devil In Blue by Courtney Leigh

He will come for you. He will find you. He will destroy you. All my life, that’s all I’ve been told.

Briar
It was a kindness, what Lucien did. Taking a girl from an asylum to raise her and care for her did not earn him any praise amongst the nobles. I should be thankful, but…
Something is missing.
There is a dark void inside me. A past I can’t remember. A part of me that’s shattered.
On Allhalloween night, we are invited to the catacombs for what is promised to be an unforgettable masquerade by a mysterious Count of Norbrooke. With our faces hidden, we can lose ourselves to lavish celebrations without the burdens we carry otherwise.
But somehow, even with a mask… he found me.

Rune
I have gone by many names, but the whole world knows me as the Devil in Blue. I am the King of the Glyn, where all souls go before they reach their afterlife.
The title is taxing, but when I found her, everything became worth it.
Until she ripped my heart in two and left.
I plotted my revenge for years, but when I finally found my little bird, why couldn’t I destroy her?
She claims she doesn’t know me.
Impossible…
But I will play her game.
