Elena Cross has never needed the spotlight.
She builds the impossible, times the escape, and disappears before the applause. Magic, to her, isn't about belief; it's about control. If the illusion works, no one should ever know she was there.
Ten years after the Horsemen vanished, Elena helps orchestrate their return as a lie. Alongside three other young illusionists, she recreates the legends using deepfakes, holograms, and precision misdirection to expose a corrupt cryptocurrency empire and give the stolen money back to the people it was taken from. The world sees a miracle. Elena sees a system working exactly as designed.
Then J. Daniel Atlas finds them, and the Eye comes calling.
Recruited for a global heist to steal the Heart Diamond from Veronika Vanderberg, a diamond magnate laundering money for international criminals, Elena is forced out of the margins and into a game where every move has consequences. Old Horsemen resurface. Alliances fracture. Someone is lying about who's really in control.
And Charlie turns out to be far more dangerous than Elena ever planned for.
As illusions escalate into betrayals and the line between justice and revenge blurs, Elena must decide how much of herself she's willing to reveal. Because in a world built on vanishing acts, the most dangerous thing isn't being seen... It's choosing not to disappear.
