Maris Casperia was raised amidst the strategic maneuvers of the Citadel's inner workings, and she knows what her future holds-a lifetime of service to a corrupt city.

When she meets Luca, a fated chain of events is set into motion that will divinely entangle their lives.
As a secret comes to light and throws the city into chaos, Luca and Maris hatch a plot to create a calculated alliance that could tip the scales of power.
