In a dystopian future the unlucky are brought back from the dead to compete in the deadly labyrinth for a chance at redemption. The Game of Ash and Bone rarely has a good outcome, with most contestants falling to fellow players, or the monsters that roam the labyrinth, a live streamed spectacle for the New Order's elite.
Cosmo Nyx comes back to life with no memory of who killed him, but that shouldn't matter considering he's about to fight to the death in a game that he suspects has long since been rigged. Can he trust his fellow contestants long enough to get out alive? And will his own dark past somehow interfere with his chaotic present?
Trigger/Content warning: some upsetting sequences including peril. Some strong language. Some adult themes. Mention of sexual relationships. Somewhat gory blood violence. Mild crude humor.

Secrets & Lies
When CIA Case Officer Mireya "Reya" King walks away from the Agency after a mission gone wrong, she leaves behind more than a career. Betrayal from inside the CIA cost her partner his life and nearly cost her her own. With her trust shattered and enemies closer than she realized, Reya takes the one job she swore she never would: joining King Consulting, the morally gray art-recovery firm run by her estranged half-brother. King Consulting operates in the space between legal acquisition and outright theft, staffed by former soldiers, specialists, and operatives who live and train together. Reya fits in far too well, but the past she hoped to escape is waiting for her inside the compound. Captain Vali Dalca is everything Reya should avoid: dangerous, loyal to the wrong person, and convinced she is someone she is not. Forced proximity, escalating sabotage, and long-buried lies turn hostility into something far more volatile. As accusations fly, trust fractures, and personal vendettas turn cruel, Reya is left questioning who is manipulating the truth and how far they are willing to go to destroy her. With a fragile engagement, dangerous missions, and a growing attraction she refuses to acknowledge, Reya must decide whether to protect herself at all costs or risk everything for the truth - and for a man who may already be too late. In a world built on secrets and lies, survival is never guaranteed. ~~~~Warning~~~ Contains descriptions of rape/sodomy, violence, and fighting.
