In Lynchaven, power is a currency bought with secrets, bloodlines, and betrayal. Camilla Marchese, heiress to the crumbling Iron Saint Railway, is forced to marry Nicolai Attano, her family’s rival, to pay off debts and prevent a brewing war. Nico has his own agenda—a serial kidnapper known as The Collector threatens to tear the city apart, and Milla is his key to restoring peace.
But their uneasy alliance pulls Milla into Lynchaven’s shadowy underworld, where remnant magic clashes with arcane science in a game of power and peril. As forbidden desires ignite and buried truths surface, Milla faces a harrowing choice: uncover the city’s darkest secrets or risk losing everything—including the man who may destroy her.
Will she survive, or will The Collector claim her too?
