My father signed my future away in the rain.
One year. One marriage. One debt paid in the only currency I had left — me.
They handed me to the president of the Chrome Apostles like a key to a lock. A man all motor oil and menace, the kind I'd spent my whole life learning to run from.
I made two promises that night. I'd never love him. I'd get my sister free.
I didn't count on the lock he gave me that only I could open. The bullet he took without flinching. The way his hands felt, steady, on mine.
The Sprawl is full of men who own people. He's the first who ever tried to set me loose.
But love is leverage down here, and the man who holds my debt is still smiling.
How do you keep a vow you've already broken?
Genre: Science Fiction
