In a galaxy of fractured empires and outlawed magic, desire is the most dangerous relic of all.
Ryn Mercer is a relic thief who lives by one rule: steal, sell, survive. But when he steals a forbidden crystal, the Eidios Shard, a relic rumored to house the soul of a fallen prince, he becomes a target of the Vercanti Family, a ruthless mafia dynasty descended from exiled royalty.
Their heir, Zephar Vercanti, is cold, calculating, and cursed. Sent to retrieve the shard and silence Ryn, he finds himself drawn to the thief in ways that defy everything he was ever taught. As the shard awakens ancient powers and buried memories, Ryn and Zephar are forced into a fragile alliance; one that could reshape the criminal underworld, or tear it apart.
