I was supposed to be the Rinaldi Jewel House's next star, but my family saw my talent as a threat. They stole my designs, sabotaged my career, and cast me out, leaving me to polish cheap stones in a forgotten corner of the city. My life was a quiet ruin until him: Dante Gallo, the sharp-eyed broker for the mythical gemstone supplier known only as 'The Faceless'. He mistook my calloused hands and gem-cutter's knowledge for those of his elusive employer and offered me a deal that could change everything - the power to control the very flow of rare gems his family coveted. Now, hiding behind a new name, I am systematically starving the Rinaldi empire of the resources they need to survive, buying up their assets piece by piece. My revenge is cold, precise, and everything I dreamed of. But the real 'Faceless' won't stay hidden forever, and I've just discovered the power I'm wielding is borrowed on a terrifyingly short timeline. Can I complete my revenge before my mask is torn away and I lose more than just my name?
