The Counterfeit Chimera

Jynva was always the scapegoat. Blamed by the aristocratic House Ophien for the bio-toxin that killed her mother and left her younger sister, Saelia, playing the sickly victim, Jynva’s explosive temper only alienated her further. Hunted by her own family's enforcers, she corners herself in a rotting alleyway where she makes a frantic blood-pact with a dying girl, swapping biometric identities to survive. But the dead girl was the runaway daughter of Vordyn Cortael - the most ruthless, feared magnate in the toxic metropolis of Zetharis. Vordyn isn't fooled for a single second. Yet, instead of executing the imposter, the terrifying billionaire is deeply amused by Jynva's lethal ferocity and fierce loyalty to her street-rat friend, Gorin. He forces her to play the role of his heir, plunging Jynva into a brutal world of high-stakes bio-forging. As the Ophiens bank everything on Saelia winning the prestigious Sovereign Sigil award, they have no idea they are about to face the wrath of the daughter they threw away. Will Jynva’s explosive talents finally burn down her past, or will the dark secrets Gorin hides destroy her new sanctuary first?
