    When life gives you magic, murder charges, and mood swings—just add a dash of chaos. 
    I expected pregnancy to come with weird cravings and swollen ankles—not an arrest warrant and a murder mystery. But hey, there you have it. 
    Marcus has been accused of killing a wereape from the New York pack, and the Gray Council authorities are ready to drag him to prison. But they’ve got the wrong guy, and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove it—even if it means confronting a killer, fending off cranky marshals, and dealing with magic that seems determined to betray me at the worst moments. 
    With my aunts at my side and my unpredictable powers fueled by my unborn kid, I’m diving headfirst into a tangled web of secrets, lies, and deadly magic. 
    The deeper I dig, the more I realize this isn’t just about clearing Marcus’s name. It’s about keeping my growing family safe.

    Dive into Oscar Wilde's haunting masterpiece, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a philosophical novel that explores the corruption of a soul consumed by vanity and hedonistic pleasure. This gripping narrative of a young, enchantingly handsome Dorian Gray, who wishes for his portrait to age while he remains youthful, reveals the dark consequences of such desire. 
    As Dorian embarks on a life influenced by the cynical Lord Henry Wotton, he plunges into a world of immorality, retaining his outward beauty while his portrait grotesquely transforms to mirror his inner corruption. Wilde's only novel, blending elements of Gothic horror with eloquent tragedy, provocatively challenges the obsession with outward appearance, starkly commenting on Victorian society's moral decadence. 
    Engage with a book that has captivated readers for over a century with Wilde's razor-sharp wit and sumptuous prose, inviting you to ponder the price of eternal beauty. The Picture of Dorian Gray remains a timeless reflection on aesthetics and ethics, becoming increasingly relevant in today's visually driven culture. Rediscover this classic novel that beautifully marries horror, beauty, and moral questioning. 
    This audiobook was narrated and produced by RAM Studios, where humans and artificial intelligence collaborate to create an excellent listening experience. (The reading is done primarily by AI)
