poverty and corruption are the new fashions in Africa worn by leaders

​One king to kill. One empire to burn. One key to rule them all. ​Sienna Sterling didn't go to the Monolith for a job. She went for a reckoning. For years, she played the perfect ghost, transforming herself into the cold, efficient "Elena Vance" to infiltrate the inner circle of the man who murdered her past. ​Lorenzo De Luca is a man who owns the locks to the world. He thought he found his Queen in Elena. He thought he found the only soul dark enough to match his own. ​On a sun-drenched yacht in the Mediterranean, the honeymoon is over. As the salt air turns to the scent of copper and the white silk turns to crimson, Sienna finally delivers her judgment. But as the King falls, a new gravity takes his place: an ancient iron key that holds the secrets of every powerful man on earth. ​Sienna wanted revenge. Instead, she got a crown. ​Now, she must step off the boat and into a city that doesn't know its master is dead. Wrapped in emerald wool and hardened by the blood on her hands, Sienna must decide: will she dismantle the machine, or is she finally ready to reign? ​In the shadow of the Monolith, there is no room for softness. Only the weight-absolute, acknowledged, and contained.

Vance, an astronomy major without much going for him and without much going on with him, believes the war plaguing his world is too far to affect him and his daily flow. It isn't until his thoughts are twisted that he finds the truth behind everything he once believed.
