Summary
Mel Medarda doesn’t lose. Not in politics, not in power plays, and certainly not at the poker table. She’s built a career on reading people, manipulating the game before the first card is even dealt. When she sets her sights on a rumored prize hidden in Europe, she plays riskier than ever before considering that this could tip the balance in power in a way noone's ready for.
But Sevika is there too, and that changes everything.
Their rivalry has been a long, messy thing—fought over backroom deals, whispered threats, and hands that always hover too close to a blade. Sevika plays dirty, cheats without shame, and walks away from every gamble with exactly what she came for. And now, she’s after the same prize.
