I’m a shadow in his empire. I’m a pawn in their war. But my heart might be the weapon that ends it all.
Seventeen-year-old Mara de la Puente has always been a ghost in her father’s brutal regime—the illegitimate daughter of Telvia’s feared dictator. All she wants is freedom, and Chase, her potential future match, may be the key to escaping it all. But when she’s accused of treason and faces execution, her world shatters.

In a desperate attempt to save herself and her brother, Mara forms an unlikely alliance with the Dissenters, a rebel faction determined to destroy her family’s reign. To earn their trust, Mara must betray everything she’s ever known and place her life in the hands of two very different men.
Matias, her assigned bodyguard, is a steadfast protector whose quiet strength and surprising tenderness slowly chips away at her defenses. But it’s Wes—with his haunted past and brooding gaze—who ignites a fire in her she can’t ignore, and sparks a connection as electrifying as it is forbidden.
Trapped in the crossfire of rebellion, desire, and deadly secrets, Mara must navigate a treacherous path where loyalty is a dangerous game and love is the deadliest weapon. With both her heart and life at stake, can she find the strength to save her brother and choose the love that might set her free?
