Now trapped in a deadly game of deception, Alissa must uncover the truth about Selene before her own identity is exposed... or she becomes the next person to disappear.

(Book 2) THE CLOCK OWNS YOU UPF: CONTROL The escape didn't happen. That was the problem. After a near-breakout shakes United Penitentiary Facility, Warden Joel Walsh activates CONTROL-a silent, surgical system designed not to punish, but to compress. No lockdowns. No riots. Just precision. Schedules tighten. Sleep disappears. Silence becomes policy. Inside UPF, men learn that control isn't enforced with force-it's enforced with time. As pressure mounts, a subtle flaw emerges. A hesitation. A repeatable moment where the prison blinks. It isn't an escape route. Not yet. But it's real-and once seen, it can't be unseen. Gary, James, and Chip understand the danger of knowing too much. Jason wrestles with impulse and restraint. Ray watches the system crack and waits. Bill Allen learns that intelligence is useless when no one argues back. Emilio studies patience like a weapon. And John Narramore carries secrets powerful men would kill to keep buried. Above them all, Walsh watches-measuring seconds, reactions, and intent-allowing the flaw to exist to learn who notices first. Because in UPF, the question isn't how to escape. It's who moves first when everyone knows where the weakness is. The clock never stops. It only hesitates.

The Man They Named Dracula The city learned his name the way people learn about storms-after the damage. No one could remember the first rumor clearly. Only the aftermath. A man who lost his company overnight and began speaking to walls. A politician whose career collapsed so perfectly it looked voluntary. A judge who resigned with shaking hands, refusing every interview, as if words themselves had become dangerous. People searched for blood. There was none. No corpses. No headlines clinging to scandal. Just absence. Hollow spaces where certainty used to live. Someone joked once, nervously, that the man behind it all must be Dracula. The name stuck because it explained the sensation-not death. Exsanguination. He drained people of what made them solid. I didn't believe it at first. I believed in patterns, in data, in the arrogance of men with too much power. Then I met him. He didn't arrive like a villain. No theatrics. No cruelty performed for attention. He walked into the room as if he had always belonged there. I introduced myself first. He let me. That should have warned me. "You've heard my name," he said, not a question. "Yes," I replied. "Everyone has." "Then you know the stories are exaggerated." Silence makes most men uncomfortable. It did not touch him. "They think I destroy people," he continued. "That I enjoy it." "You don't?" I asked. He tilted his head slightly, a quiet recalculation. "I enjoy precision. What people lose is incidental." That was when I understood why they called him Dracula.

Inside the United Penitentiary Facility, time is not measured - it is enforced. Warden Joel Walsh runs UPF on a schedule so precise it breaks men without touching them. Every door, every count, every second belongs to him. Brothers James and Chip Dutt learn quickly that survival depends on silence and timing. A talkative inmate named Gary hears too much. A fixer named Ray Brown knows pieces of every escape but never the whole truth. And as power shifts inside the walls, the prison itself begins to test who can adapt - and who will disappear. In UPF, order is the weapon. And the clock decides who pays.

Beneath its cathedrals of glass and smoke, the wealthy gather each year for the Grand Masquerade Ball-a night of music, masks, and whispered sins.

Disgraced detective Calder Reeve and his sister Isla, a rising star in Veridian's police ranks, are drawn into the investigation.

As the Reeves race to stop the killings, they uncover threads connecting the victims to the cathedral's past-and to their own family. Every new death follows a verse from a centuries-old prophecy, foretelling the return of a figure known only as The Silent Saint. But when the evidence begins to point toward Isla herself, the case fractures the bond between brother and sister. In a city where everyone hides behind a mask, the most devastating truth waits closest to home. The murderer's identity shatters everything Calder believes-and forces him to choose between justice, blood, and survival. When the last rose falls, Veridian will never be the same.
