Rae Duvall has her mother's hands and her mother's hunger, and she is beginning to understand that both are inherited curses.
When a courier slips her a map fragment marked with the sigil of the First Huntress, Rae follows a trail her mother began and never finished. It moves through jungles, sea caves, desert vaults, and glacier ice toward a convergence point no map has ever named. With her is Theo, methodical and unshakable, the kind of partner who never asks her to slow down. Against her is Gideon Varro, a calculating rival whose money reaches everywhere and whose conscience reaches nowhere, until it does.
What Rae finds at the end of the trail is not treasure. It is a claim. And the Crown she refused to take has already decided she belongs to it.
Her mother screamed when she learned the same truth. Rae ties her gloves and goes anyway.
A dark global adventure following a Black woman built like a weapon and haunted like a daughter, a partner who keeps her steady, and a rival who confesses too late. Six continents. Ancient inheritance. The legend that does not ask permission.
Book One of the Huntress Cycle.
