Auras don’t lie, but hearts can still deceive.

As his ex-wife can attest, there’s nothing Griff cares about more than his job. Thanks to his ability to read other people’s auras, he’s quickly become one of the most renowned investigators in the Sanjarkan Republic. But when he finally catches a lead for an elusive thief, he soon discovers that not every case is so simple to solve.

Thankfully, his ability to change his appearance at will makes it all too easy to hide…which is why his bizarre fascination with the detective hunting him makes so little sense.

After stumbling upon an illicit void relic with mysterious ties to the government, Cal begrudgingly agrees to help Griff investigate in exchange for his freedom. Yet as they combine their skills to unravel the conspiracy, Griff finds himself wondering if there’s more to the cocky thief than meets the eye…even as Cal grapples with the very same question.
