He’s a man of order who doesn’t tolerate threats to the system.
Their paths were never meant to cross—but the world no longer plays by the rules.
Once, I was a princess.
Then I became a shadow—someone the world would rather forget.
The system that was supposed to protect me, destroyed me. So I learned to survive.
To trust no one.
To disappear.
Now I’m just another cog in the very machine that tried to crush me.
My goal? Justice. Or whatever’s left of it in a world where justice is a fairy tale printed in history books. And if I have to shatter a few ideals to get there—so be it. Safety is worth the cost.
They want obedience from me, but I was never good at that.
They want silence, but I only pretend to listen.
And worst of all—they expect me to follow him. That arrogant, insufferable man who’s decided he’s our leader.
Cameron Davis thinks he knows everything?
Every day, I prove him wrong.
But he’s not the only problem.
My plans are falling apart, and the deeper I fall into this mess, the harder it is to see a way out.
I’ve never doubted which side of history I stand on.
Law and order build the future—and I know how to lead it.
I don’t just want to be an agent. I want to be at the top.
But first, I have to train cadets.
And I hate cadets.
They’re loud, stubborn, overconfident.
And she is the worst of them all.
Juliet Evans is too smart for her own good. She challenges me, questions everything, acts like she knows something I don’t.
And the worst part?
She makes me question myself.
That’s dangerous.
I wanted to teach her a lesson.
But this mission?
It spiraled into something far more dangerous than either of us expected.
History is written by the victors.
But power is built in shadows—and those who know too much often disappear.
A fragile balance keeps the country together—and it’s on the verge of collapse.
Hostile zones no one comes back from.
Secrets that should’ve stayed buried.
Assassinations. Political manipulation. A past that refuses to stay dead.
And emotions that surface at the worst possible time.
Is justice worth fighting for… if it costs you everything?
What’s more important—your beliefs, or a truth that could destroy them?
And what’s more dangerous—your enemies… or the one person you don’t want to lose?
This book is a thrilling, slow-burning fusion of dystopia, enemies-to-lovers romance, political intrigue, espionage, and forbidden love—where passion and danger collide in the most unexpected ways.
