It's been 6 months since her mother's death and Jo still feels the burning hatred inside of her. The anger directed solely at the man who she used to call her father. The man who Jo has promised to kill. If there's one thing you need to know about Jo Coll, it's that she never breaks a promise.
Sequel to Outrunning Darkness
There's a city where silence speaks louder than sirens.
Where luxury masks violence, and power drips from every whispered name.
In the darkest corners of that city, a woman moves like smoke-beautiful, untouchable, and built from everything she was never supposed to survive.
She doesn't chase love.
She doesn't mourn the past.
She doesn't cry.
But some ghosts don't stay buried.
Some smiles come with shadows.
And when the line between loyalty and betrayal begins to blur, even a queen must ask herself:
How do you stay standing in a world built to watch you fall?
This isn't a love story.
It's a warning.
And not everyone will make it to the end.
