One is chasing ghosts; the other is trying to outrun them. Drawn together by a missing person and a city that feeds on silence, a grief-stricken seeker and a reluctant guide find themselves entangled in a world of backroom deals, blurred allegiances, and secrets no one wants unearthed. Their alliance is uneasy, born of shared desperation rather than trust, but it's the only thing they have as they step deeper into the city's shadowed core. The deeper they dig, the more their own lives become tangled in the corruption they're trying to expose. Truth isn't just dangerous here-it's destabilizing. It asks too much. Demands more than either of them is ready to give. With powerful enemies closing in and lines between justice and survival fraying, they must confront not only what happened to the lost, but what it's cost them to look away for so long.
