In the sprawling city of Asopolis, danger lurks in every corner, especially in the fractured districts of Scarlet, Lotus, and Diamond. When Zahria is pulled off the streets for her crimes, she's given a choice: rot in a cell or join a team of assassins on a deadly mission. Her reward? The chance to find her missing brother, gone without a trace for two years-until now.
The mission: infiltrate The Iron Wolves, the city's most dangerous gang, and dismantle them from the inside. The catch? Survival isn't guaranteed.
Zahria's new team is as broken as she is: Malakai, the man with smoke in his lungs and poison on his breath; Killian, whose voice can seduce or shatter and Neza, the master of illusions, hiding truths even from herself
Together, they must navigate the dark underbelly of Asopolis, where betrayal is currency and secrets can kill. But when Zahria discovers the gang's leader holds more than just the key to her brother's whereabouts, she's forced to question everything-even her loyalty to the team she never wanted.
In a world where trust is fleeting and powers can fail, how far will Zahria go to uncover the truth?
"The Lotus District" is a gripping tale of found family, betrayal, and the strength it takes to bloom in the shadows.
