The case he’s investigating is a missing person, and things get complicated fast. The victim was part of a secretive and reclusive group known as the Choir. Outsiders don’t have access to members, don’t even know where the Choir lives and operates. While one person tells Niko the victim disappeared under suspicious circumstances, everyone else seems to agree she just left on her own. But why would a young woman at the peak of her career just drop everything and leave? To find out the truth, Niko has to go where Cobalt planned never to return—Azure’s Court, deep in the ocean.
Playing as though he’s just curious about Cobalt’s former life as a Royal Guard, Niko questions Cobalt’s old friends. In doing so, he finds out much more than he bargained for about his lover’s past—including Cobalt’s ex. The more Niko uncovers, the more questions he has, both about the case and his relationship. He thinks finding out what happened to the victim will give him the answers he needs, but it might just force Niko to make the hardest choice of his life. What’s more important—justice or love?
In the Black is a 154,000 word mystery m/m romance set in the fantasy world of the Three Courts with a HEA. It features explicit BDSM scenes between two men, including edgeplay, making it appropriate for mature readers aged 18 and up. There are also instances of gore, violence, and coarse language. This is the third and final novel of the Ever Green series and is best enjoyed following the other two, Out of the Blue , and Seeing Red.
