Lyra Ryker was trained to be a weapon and taught to forget the cost. When a mission misstep leaves her broken and memoryless, she wakes in the hands of Braxton Wolff: a contract killer who should have been her target. As fragments of her past sharpen into focus, so does the truth-that she was built to serve Cassian Voss, a man who plays people like instruments in his pursuit of absolute control.
Torn between the seduction of the life she's lost and the man who refuses to let her fall back into it, Lyra must choose: reclaim the role she was designed for, or burn it down. But Lodestar is rising, the Orpheus Gate is counting down, and saying no to Cassian might cost her everything.
When your past is a cage, will you choose to look back-or break free?
