Introduction

Leaving the abbey was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance for Astël to finally live on her own terms. But the city holds more danger than she ever imagined-and he's at the center of it. Cold, calculating, and impossible to resist, City isn't just a man; he's a force. Drawn into his world of dark secrets and forbidden desires, Astël finds herself caught between the girl she was and the woman she's becoming. As City's control tightens, will she find a way out, or will he pull her deeper into a game she can't win?
