Broken Silence

Chase Moonshine is no stranger to darkness. At twenty, she's already seen more than most. Born a demigod, with a silver trident in hand and a legacy of ancient power weighing heavily on her shoulders, she's used to fighting battles on two fronts-against the monsters that stalk the streets of her cursed city, and against the dark secrets lurking within her own bloodline.

The city of Gilded Hollow was once a haven of prosperity. Now it's a rotting corpse of corruption, where the Syndicate controls every shadow and every soul. The people are addicted, the government is broken, and no one is safe. Chase swore to destroy the Syndicate from the inside out, but to do so, she must face the darkest corners of the city-and the darker sides of herself.

When a mysterious man named Kai appears from the depths of Gilded Hollow, with eyes as bright as ice and a shadowed past, Chase is drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Kai knows the city's secrets, and he claims to have answers to the mysteries of the Syndicate's twisted experiments-secrets that could be the key to saving the city. But with trust in short supply, Chase finds herself torn between working with the elusive Kai and the dangers of trusting a man with his own dark agenda.

As the corruption begins to reach even the most sacred places, Chase must navigate a world where allies are few, enemies are everywhere, and the thin line between right and wrong is slipping away. Alongside her reluctant partnership with Kai, Chase grapples with her own growing feelings for him-and the pull of something far deeper than mere attraction.

In a city where even the light is tainted, Chase must decide whether saving Gilded Hollow is worth losing herself-and if there's still enough humanity left to save.
