**She can read the memories of the dead. The living Codex has been waiting for her.**

Eva Vance has spent her life hiding an impossible gift. With a touch, she can hear the memories objects leave behind—secrets buried in blood, grief, and time. All she wants is to protect her sister and escape the forces that have hunted them for years.

Then her gift draws her to Thorne Manor.

Beneath its rain-darkened halls, Eva discovers forbidden laboratories, ancient wards, and a living book bound in copper and silver leaves. The Codex knows her bloodline. It knows why she was summoned. And it remembers Sebastian Thorne.

Brilliant, dangerous, and nearly three centuries old, Sebastian is the immortal guardian of a Threshold sealed beneath his family’s estate. He knows more about Eva’s inheritance than he is willing to reveal—and far less than he should about the power awakening whenever they touch.

Eva does not trust him. Sebastian cannot afford to need her. But when the wards begin to fail and a fanatical order closes in, they are forced into an alliance neither can control.

Every secret the Codex reveals draws Eva deeper into a forgotten war. Every touch strengthens a bond that feels less like magic than fate. To save her sister and keep the Threshold from falling into enemy hands, Eva must decide whether trusting Sebastian will give her the power to rewrite their world—or surrender her future to a destiny chosen long before she was born.

*The Codex of Leaves* is a lush adult gothic romantasy featuring slow-burn desire, fated mates, reluctant allies, Victorian alchemy, dark academia, ancient bloodlines, dangerous immortals, secret societies, and a living book that remembers everything.
