Synopsis

In the surveillance state of New Found Haven—a city carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite known as the Veyra—mercy is a myth and love across the rings is a death sentence. When the mercenary Shadera botches the assassination of the president's son, Greyson, her failure leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to kill: prisoner and wife inside the corrupt heart of the city, watched at every turn. As secrets and betrayals surface, the two must choose between destroying each other or burning the regime down together. A dark dystopian enemies-to-lovers romance, and book one of the Heart Duology.
