Alara was adopted to be a weapon-shaped by pain, sharpened by control, and destined to kill the one man who could've saved her.
Ace.
But fate has other plans. When Alara discovers the horrific truth about her biological parents' murder, everything she believed collapses. Her so-called family didn't just lie to her-they orchestrated her entire life. And now, she's done playing their game.
Hiding in Ace's home, haunted by secrets she can't speak, Alara is caught between the ghost of the girl she was forced to be... and the woman she's becoming. Ace is the only person who sees her, not as a weapon, but as someone worth saving. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more dangerous it becomes.
Because Alara isn't the only one with secrets.
And someone else is wearing her face.
In a world where trust is lethal and love is a liability, Alara must choose: vengeance or freedom, survival or surrender, truth or the illusion that's been her life.
