Downloading Silent Dagger (A Sapphic Syndicate Story 1)

In the acid-scarred ruins of a cyberpunk dystopia, two women forge a collision course of blades, code, and forbidden desire.

Thalia Voss—codename Eclipse—is a blade without a hilt. Genetically engineered and cybernetically perfected, she’s the Syndicate’s deadliest assassin: a ghost who leaves no trace but corpses. Her augments erase fear, doubt, and the memory of the sister she failed to save.

Juno Maris—codename Starburst—is a wildfire in synth-leather. A hacker who seduces security systems and lovers with equal recklessness, she thrives on neuro-spice highs and the adrenaline of heists gone sideways. Her only loyalty? To the next thrill.

When the Syndicate forces them to partner for a suicide mission—stealing an AI core from a fortress floating above Old Shanghai’s ruins—their mutual hatred ignites. Thalia despises Juno’s chaos; Juno mocks Thalia’s icy control. But when a neural hack backfires, leaving Thalia’s augments spiraling and her pulse synced to Juno’s heartbeat, survival demands trust.

Now they’re running—from the Syndicate’s hunters, the AI’s lethal secrets, and the electric pull between a killer who feels nothing and a thief who feels too much. In a world where love is a vulnerability and memory a weapon, their greatest heist might be stealing each other’s humanity.

Silent Dagger is a sapphic cyberpunk storm where Killing Eve meets Blade Runner, laced with razor-edged banter, gritty intimacy, and a neon-lit underworld of betrayal. For fans of morally gray heroines, slow-burn queer tension, and fight scenes that bite as hard as the romance.
