Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for.

When linguistic archivist Ella Moore uncovers a mysterious parchment hidden in a long-forgotten archive, she never expects it to unravel a conspiracy that reaches into the city's darkest corners. The cryptic symbols lead to whispers of The Serpent's Coil—a powerful and ruthless criminal syndicate known only through legend and fear.

Realizing she's in over her head, Ella turns to Jack Stone, a brooding former detective with a haunted past and a reputation for solving the unsolvable. Once connected by a fleeting moment long ago, they are now thrust into a world of danger, deception, and burning attraction. But trust is scarce—and growing feelings may be more dangerous than the enemies closing in.

From shadowy warehouses to high-society penthouses, their investigation reveals more than just the chilling reach of an underground network. It exposes betrayal at the highest levels, hidden agendas, and a plot that could bring the city to its knees.
