Overview

She uncovers conspiracies for a living. She never expected to become one.

Nia Love knows three things: archives don't lie, patterns don't appear by accident, and the elegant woman who just walked into her basement definitely isn't human.

Seraphine Vale is everything Nia should avoid—controlled, magnetic, and connected to every fire, every disappearance, every carefully buried secret Nia's been investigating. She's also the most dangerous person Nia has ever wanted.

When a body surfaces with burn marks that match Nia's childhood scar, walking away stops being an option. Seraphine offers protection, answers, and a glimpse into a hidden world of dragons, ancient politics, and conspiracies that have been burning for decades.

But protection comes with a price. And Seraphine might be saving Nia—or setting her up to take the fall.

Caught between a morally grey love interest who knows too much and a conspiracy that wants her silenced, Nia does what she does best: she digs deeper. With her fiercely loyal best friend, a snarky underground network, and her own brilliance as weapons, Nia unravels a truth that will shatter everything.
