Yet, her calculating mind hides a rotting core. She doesn't just solve murders; she seeks vengeance for her brother's mysterious death. When a series of high-profile, ritualistic executions mimics her brother's unsolved case, the stakes skyrocket. Selene must descend into a corrupt underworld of dark magic and political conspiracy. As she hunts the killer, her cheat begins feeding on her own deeply repressed guilt, threatening to consume her soul. With every shadow she slays, the line between justice and madness blurs, forcing her to decide if saving the city is worth becoming the very monster she is sworn to destroy.
