Villines joins them, dramatic, stylish, and deadly, turning violence into art. Together, they form an uneasy alliance built on instinct, precision, and chaos. What begins as a rescue spirals into a hidden war with a powerful group known as the Hunters. A single message changes everything: TARGET NOT ERASED. TARGET PROTECTED. Now Kai isn't just a witness - he's the target. And in Valmere, there are no rules after midnight.

It is only the beginning of a ritual that will require her to look much more deeply. But her sight is not always reliable. Sometimes the world shifts when she looks too long. And sometimes patterns emerge where they should not exist.
