Force Majeure: a River’s End Novel
Dylan Rose
(Book 3 in the River’s End series)
The house is freezing. The magic is gone. And the eviction notice was signed in blood.
Silas Vance thought he’d won. He has the deed to River’s End, the love of an ancient vampire, and a baby rock golem living in his garden. He thought the war for the territory was over.
He was wrong.
When his murderous Aunt Lavinia files a magical injunction—a Lis Pendens—it doesn’t just drag Silas back into court; it freezes the land itself. The Ley Line is severed. The wards fall. And Elias Thorne, the property’s magical Anchor, is cut off from his power source and left starving.
Now, Silas is trapped in a dying, frozen house with a weakened husband, a vampire flapper daughter who refuses to help without a martini, and a paramilitary hit squad waiting at the gates.
To save his home, Silas has to pull off the ultimate legal heist: steal the Vance Family Grimoire from a penthouse guarded by ghosts, prove his lineage, and trigger a "Force Majeure"—an act of God powerful enough to break the curse.
But the price of unlocking the land might be higher than he can pay. Because when you turn the magic back on, you don't just wake up the house. You wake up the monsters beneath it.
In the court of the supernatural, there is no appeal. Only survival.
