You are the girlfriend of the notorious Sevika and the two of you were fairly close. Although one day Silco sends you up to topside on a mission where you run into Ambessa Medarda. The older woman quickly takes a liking to you, perhaps too quickly. What happens when you have to Zaun? Back to Sevika? Will she allow it or will violence break out? I do not own anything other than the plot!

Working under Silco has never been easy, but it pays well enough to keep you alive in Zaun. When you're assigned to run deliveries for Sevika, you quickly learn she's not the type for idle chatter or pleasantries. But when things go sideways, you find yourself forced into an uneasy partnership with her-one that might just kill you before it leads to anything else.

In the depths of Zaun's underworld, your name is whispered like a shadow. A thief of secrets, a broker of whispers, you've built your reputation on information-slipping through alleys, taverns, and backroom deals with eyes sharp enough to cut and ears tuned to the slightest tremor of betrayal. But power attracts danger, and one night, you cross the wrong line. A job gone sideways entangles you with Silco's operation-the most dangerous man in Zaun's rising empire. You expect death, chains, or worse. What you don't expect is the way he looks at you-not as prey, but as something useful. Something worth keeping. Silco draws you deeper into his world, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence. And in that world waits Jinx-a fragile storm of chaos and brilliance. Somehow, she latches onto you, her small hands clinging as if you could shield her from the madness. Against your better judgment, you become her anchor, the "mother" Silco cannot be. But the deeper you fall into Silco's orbit, the harder it is to tell where survival ends and desire begins. You are his spy, his confidant, his foil-and perhaps his undoing. Because in Zaun, love is never gentle. It is obsession. It is power. And once Silco decides you are his, there is no escape.
