It was raining the night they found her - a little girl bleeding on the sidewalk, nameless, terrified, and alone.
The building should've minded its business.
It never did.
In a place full of misfits, criminals, hackers, fighters, and ghosts of their own making, the residents of the old apartment complex took her in without hesitation. No paperwork. No questions. No plan.
Just a promise.
Opal grew up in the shadows of that building - protected by people the world feared, raised by a woman who once made the shadows fear her, and loved by a family stitched together from broken pieces.
She doesn't remember where she came from.
She doesn't know what she survived.
She only knows she was found.
But the past has a way of clawing back.And when three powerful brothers - heirs to a ruthless empire - discover the girl they've been searching for is alive, grown, and living a life that was never meant to be hers, everything Opal thought she knew begins to unravel.
They've been watching her.
Waiting for her.
Wanting her.
Because Opal wasn't just lost.
She was stolen.
And the Vale brothers aren't here to let her go.
They're here to claim what was theirs.
Even if it destroys her.
Even if it destroys them.
Even if it burns the whole world down.
