On a Tuesday night in October, art restorer Serafina Moreau gets a phone call that changes everything. Her father—the head of Port Nera's most powerful criminal syndicate—is dead. She has six hours before the council convenes and decades of carefully built power are put up for grabs. She's twenty-six. She restores paintings for a living. She has a photographic memory, a steel core that nobody—including her father—ever fully measured, and a grief she has locked in a drawer because there is work to do. The three men her father left. Callum Drake — enforcer, ex-military, built like a man assembled for the specific purpose of making rooms smaller. He has been loyal to Sera since before they met, in the specific, controlled way of a man who cannot say what he means but will stand between her and every threat before she identifies it. His love language is elimination of danger. Nico Vasquez — strategist, silver-tongued, the most dangerous man in any room because you forget he is dangerous. He has been watching Sera for two years. He has very good reasons. They are not entirely professional. Zander Voss — head of arms and logistics, tattooed with the structural maps of the city's underground tunnels, secretly an artist. He fixes things that need fixing. He talks to Sera like a person. In a world full of people performing, this is the most devastating thing anyone does. Someone murdered Viktor Moreau. The machine that killed him took thirty years to build. And the woman who just inherited his chair is going to dismantle it—not through violence, but through the specific, patient intelligence of someone who spent four years learning that you must understand the damage before you touch it.
