Luna Lou had never known an easy life. Gotham's streets raised her-teaching her to steal without getting caught, talk her way out of trouble, and survive when no one else cared. Sharp-tongued, quick-footed, and impossible to ignore, she met danger with a crooked grin and a sarcastic quip.
If Gotham swallowed people whole, Luna refused to be digested.
The only constant in her chaotic world was Selina Kyle.
They'd grown up together, two strays who became family. Where Selina was quiet, watchful, and unreadable, Luna was loud, bold, and impossible to shut up. They balanced each other perfectly-claws and laughter, shadows and spark. You rarely saw one without the other.
Until Selina casually mentioned she'd befriended Bruce Wayne.
Luna laughed. Selina Kyle, the girl who picked pockets in alleys, hanging out with Gotham's richest orphan? Yeah, right. But when Selina just shrugged and said Luna didn't have to meet him if she didn't want to, curiosity-Luna's greatest weakness-took over.
Meeting Bruce Wayne was supposed to be a joke. A one-time story she could laugh about later.
It wasn't.
Behind the polished shoes and kind eyes lay a man far more complex than his name suggested, tangled in a world of secrets, power, and danger that ran much deeper than the streets Luna knew.
As Luna is pulled into Bruce's orbit and Selina begins to drift in ways she doesn't understand, the lines between alleyways and mansions blur. Caught between the Gotham she's always known and the one she's only beginning to see, Luna discovers that in a city built on corruption, masks, and monsters, getting close to the truth has a price.
In Gotham, survival isn't just about staying alive.
It's about deciding who you are when everything around you is trying to change you.
