Clara, heir to the Guild’s legacy, refuses to bow. She has been trained to endure, to lead, and to fight for those who depend on her courage. When the Council strips away her rights and PAC’s influence spreads like smoke, she takes her stand—not with weapons alone, but with the fire of conviction.

 

At her side is Gabriel Ashford, a man marked by scars of war and loyalty. He is more than a protector; he is a partner whose steady presence allows Clara to face both her enemies and her fears. Together they navigate a city of fog and intrigue—where broadsheets twist the truth, allies may falter, and every quiet corridor may hold betrayal.

 

As their enemies tighten their grip, Clara and Gabriel find strength in one another, even as love threatens to make them vulnerable. In a world where passion is seen as weakness, they must decide whether to guard their hearts or wield them as weapons.
