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.

- The ending was predictable but the ride to get there was interesting.This was an ok read. Following the threads was easy enough, and it never really felt like I had to work for it, but the writing was decent, the characters were fleshed out, and the action (both types) was fairly present. Predictable yet satisfying. 3/5
- My first 5⭐️ book of the year. Truly, an incredible book with beautiful writing and a crazy ass plot. My heart still aches for that ending but what the hell?? I just finished reading this, I honestly have no words to describe what I’m feeling right now. Everyone needs to read this book!!!
