In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control. When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face. As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.
