TheReignofApril_575
Three years ago, Halcyon-the city's most beloved protector-died in the flames of battle. The world mourned. The government claimed illness. But her daughter, Sera, knows the truth: Halcyon was murdered by Quietus, the ruthless rival who always lurked in the shadows.
Now seventeen, Sera carries the weight of her mother's mantle while struggling to keep her double life hidden. By day, she's a top student at John Jay College. By night, she's the new Halcyon-tracking every lead, every whisper, every shadow that might bring her closer to Quietus.
But Quietus isn't who she expected. Colter Patel is arrogant, dangerous, and far too clever to stay caught for long. Every clash between them pulls Sera deeper into a game of masks and secrets, where the lines between duty and desire, vengeance and obsession, blur until she's not sure which side she's really fighting for.
In a city on the brink, one truth is undeniable:
Legacies burn, enemies tempt, and some rivalries are written in blood.
