The Silver Key

The mirror is not a painting. It is a door. And behind it, the Shadow is waiting.

Three months after the confrontation in the crypt, Valentina Donati feels a message she never expected: her father is alive. Marco Donati, missing for five years, is trapped in an abandoned research facility outside Vienna—the Schattenberg estate, a place the Circle of Dawn has been searching for since 1962. With Luca at her side and the echoes of six souls still resonating inside her, Val sets out on a desperate mission to bring her father home.

But Schattenberg holds more than a missing man. Beneath the crumbling manor lies a vast cavern, and at its center hangs the true seventh painting: a ten-foot silver mirror forged by Alois Grimann himself. The mirror is the original cage—the prison that has held the Shadow for over a century. And when Lucien Fontana, Luca's long-lost father, appears with a silver shard he claims can destroy the entity, Val must decide whether to trust a man who has spent forty years hiding in the shadows.

As the summer solstice approaches and the barrier between worlds thins, Val faces an impossible choice: destroy the mirror and risk releasing the Shadow, or protect it and let the Circle's deadly hunt continue forever. But the Shadow has its own plans. It has been patient. It has been hungry. And it knows that Val carries the six echoes it once consumed—souls it will do anything to reclaim.

The Seventh Painting is the breathtaking fourth book in the Shadows of Lake Lucerne series: a slow-burn paranormal romantic suspense where families are reunited, truths are revealed, and the final battle against an ancient darkness will demand the ultimate sacrifice.
