In "Black Crag," Margo finds herself caught in a storm of secrets and betrayal after escaping a dangerous situation with Cavan. As the truth about Lucia’s murder of Margo’s uncle and Greg’s sabotage of the will comes to light, the fragile safety of their escape begins to crumble. When Cavan pulls Margo back from the departing train, their moment hangs in the balance—love, loyalty, and the past all pulling at the same thread.
