The syndicate doesn't just run the coast. They own the asphalt. They own the underground- illegal racing, weapons, drugs, and everything in between. Enter Aria and her squad of elite undercover agents. Their mission is strictly professional: infiltrate the crew, earn the trust, gather the evidence, and bring them down before they make one of their biggest shipments to the American Mafia. No attachments. No mistakes. To survive, Aria becomes Liah- a sharp-tongued, reckless mechanic with grease under her fingernails. She was prepared for the guns in dark alleys and the ruthless interrogations. She is one of the best at hand-to-hand combat. Except for one small variable. This variable sees right through her. Winning his trust somehow becomes the greatest challenge. Over the course of this, she discovers things that give her no choice but to get personally involved in the operation. Join Aria as she faces an impossible choice: finish the mission and burn the syndicate to the ground, or risk everything and go rogue, taking matters into her own hands. There will be a book 2! The songs are carefully selected for each chapter, so I'd recommend giving them a shot while reading :)

A THREAD OF COLD IRON The Spindles of Time - Book One Three friends. One reckless ritual. A thousand years of separation. As a postgraduate student of English history, Edith Finch thought she knew everything about the brutal, bloody era of the early Norse invasions. She never planned on living through it. When an ancient Celtic ritual performed by her closest friend, Maeve, goes catastrophically wrong, the fabric of the Spindles unravels-scattering Edith, Maeve, and Rosalind across the corridors of time. Edith awakens not in modern comfort, but in the bleak mud and terror of 9th-century Northumbria, smack in the path of a Viking raid. And right into the hands of Ivar Sigurdsson. Towering, heavily scarred, and hardened by war, Ivar is a ruthless warrior who rules with steel and cold resolve. Edith is small, out of her depth, and desperate to find a way back to her own century and the friends she lost. But in a world where mercy is scarce, surviving means staying close to the very man she should fear most. As the raw, intoxicating tension between them flares into an undeniable heat, Ivar slowly breaks down every defense Edith has left. But as history threatens to burn around them, Edith faces an impossible choice: mend the broken thread of time to get home, or surrender to the dangerous warrior who has claimed her heart. Atmospheric, intensely romantic, and steamy, A Thread of Cold Iron begins The Spindles of Time trilogy.

In the sky-bound realm of Cheon-geung, magic is written on the skin. ​The high nobles bear luminous, constellation-shaped scars that grant them command over light, gravity, and time. Seventeen-year-old Eun Chaewon has no marks. She is merely a low-caste ink-maker in the Royal Observatory-until the night she accidentally paints a forbidden 13th constellation onto an imperial silk banner using ink ground from fallen star dust. ​That night, an unauthorized star flares in the sky, and anyone who gazes upon it is marked for execution. ​Enter Kang Yoon-woo: the cold, ruthless prodigy of the High Sun Clan and the youngest Chief Auditor of the Celestial Court. Assigned to execute the treasonous artist, Yoon-woo corners Chaewon-only to recognize her brushwork. It contains the exact celestial cipher left behind by his older brother, who vanished three years ago under imperial orders. ​Instead of turning her in, Yoon-woo strikes a dangerous deal: Chaewon will use her forbidden star-sensing talent to decipher the palace's shifting vaults, and Yoon-woo will protect her from the Emperor's shadow-hunters. ​Together, they uncover a terrifying conspiracy: the Emperor is stealing the kingdom's memories to build an artificial constellation capable of wiping entire lineages from existence. To stop it, an ink-maker with no magic and a nobleman losing his own must learn to trust each other before the coming eclipse erases them both.
