    Summary

    A ruthless entertainment empire rises into the clouds, where every smile is rehearsed and every mistake has a price.

    On her first day as Crystal Tower’s new head of Animal Resources, Suki Lane arrives with polished restraint and a psychologist’s eye for patterns no one wants named. She collides almost immediately with Porsha Crystal, the Tower’s glittering heiress, whose hunger to be seen clashes with Suki’s unnerving indifference. As an “accident” in rehearsal exposes the Tower’s brittle foundations, Suki’s quiet questions begin to pry at sealed doors, coded loyalties, and a past that doesn’t stay buried.

    Meanwhile, Lucasta Meadow, Jimmy Crystal’s elegant right hand, turns her attention toward Porsha with devotion that feels too deliberate to be harmless and Porsha’s ever-smiling assistant Tilly proves far more complicated than her cotton-candy exterior suggests.

    In a place built on spotlight and silence, desire, control, and truth orbit each other like gravity. And once someone starts naming what the Tower does, the Tower notices.
