When the Syndicate slaughters the Crimson Vipers in a calculated ambush, Harper Voss—daughter of an executed arms dealer and fiercely bound to her found family—falls into the grip of Brock Lawson, the Syndicate’s brutal enforcer. He doesn’t see her as prey, but as a weapon to be broken and remade. To survive East Halworth’s machine of blood, Harper must decide if she’ll yield to their control—or carve herself into something lethal enough to cut her way out.
