After the death of her powerful father, twenty-two-year-old Thalia Venizelou returns to the heart of an empire teetering on the edge of collapse: the Foundation he built, the city he ruled, and the secrets he left behind. Grieving, untested, and determined not to be anyone's puppet, Thalia steps into a world of politics, power plays, and haunting memory.
But nothing is more complicated than Kyros Valiadis-her late father's enigmatic best friend and the man who raised empires alongside him. Cold, brilliant, and impossibly off-limits, Kyros is everything she shouldn't want. And yet, he's the only one who truly sees her-wounded, furious, and dangerously alive.
As sparks ignite and forbidden lines blur, Thalia and Kyros are caught in a slow, aching dance of restraint and desire. But their secrets don't stay buried for long. When a scandal threatens to ruin everything, the two must decide what they're willing to sacrifice-for love, for legacy, and for each other.
Amid whispered betrayals, boardroom wars, and the ghosts of those they've lost, Thalia and Kyros must battle the weight of the past to carve out their future. Even as shadows close in, some loves burn too deeply to be denied.
