    Summary

    In Linkon City, neon light hides more than it reveals—desire is traded like currency, and every heartbeat comes with a cost.
    Kaelix, once a promising Hunter, now survives on drugs, sex work, and the thin thread of a failing heart. Caleb, her estranged half-brother turned soldier, returns to a city that’s as broken as their bond. Zayne buries guilt beneath his doctor’s mask and whiskey glass. Rafayel drowns in lust and performance, painting his grief in fire and flesh. Xavier hides centuries of secrets behind a calm smile, craving truths he fears to face. And Sylus the ruler of N109, pulls every string in the red-light district, even as obsession cracks the iron mask he wears.

    When their lives entangle, the past bleeds into the present: betrayals resurface, addictions spiral, and forbidden loves burn too bright to contain. In a city of shadows, every secret is a weapon—and every heart is a ticking bomb.
