Everybody Wants Ace Dead

In a city where reputation is worth more than life, some names are spoken softly-not out of respect, but out of fear.

Naomi keeps running into a man she was never meant to notice, let alone remember. He doesn't move like someone who's untouchable... but everything around him reacts like he is. Like his presence alone shifts the rules.

And the strange part? The closer she gets to the truth, the more it feels like his enemies aren't just looking for him-they're already convinced he's supposed to die.

The only question is why.

Because in this city, nobody is hated without reason... and nobody is wanted dead without a story.
