2131
Three years into their marriage, Matthew and Anne Marie have built a life together, but when Anne's brother, Cassian Becker, calls with news of a shocking murder-the death of powerful Steward Roger Caddel-the illusion of normalcy shatters. As they unravel the mystery behind Roger's death and search for his missing daughter-Cassian's new love-they quickly realize the corruption they once faced has only grown more insidious.
With shadows of the past closing in, Anne is haunted by the presence of Julian Whitlock, a man who will stop at nothing to claim her as his own. As threats multiply and long-buried secrets surface, Matthew and Anne must rely on each other more than ever. With Cassian and Quinton Barlow by their side, they will be forced to take a stand-against Anne's ruthless parents and Julian's relentless pursuit.
Lines will be drawn. Loyalties will be tested. And survival is far from guaranteed.
