He built an empire out of other people’s secrets. I was hired to steal his.
I’m Lyra—hacker, liar, professional ghost. My mission is simple: infiltrate ValeCorp, expose its billionaire CEO, and burn his world down. Adrian Cole is supposed to be the villain—a morally gray king with a city at his feet.
Then I find GLASSFALL, the quiet machine he uses to hunt predators the law won’t touch.
Our cat-and-mouse becomes something far more dangerous: a slow-burn, consent-driven obsession where every rule we write is a vow. He is control wrapped in restraint. I’m the girl who doesn’t run, even when I should. When my handler twists a raid to make casualties for the cameras, I have to choose: the system I serve or the man who protects the people it forgot.
Storm sirens. Courtroom lights. A coin I stop flipping. This isn’t about redemption that looks good on paper—it’s about truth, paid in consequence.
If I betray him, I lose the only person who ever asked before he touched me.
If I choose him, I burn my cover, my career… and maybe save a city.
