Summary
When a former Queen follows a trail of altered manifests and missing names across the sea, she finds a kingdom held together by omission: polished on the surface, rotten underneath. In that unfiltered world, every door has a price, every kindness conceals a ledger. And a disgraced prince - accomplished liar, a man far too at home in the dark - stands exactly where the rot turns useful.
Forced into a brittle alliance inside a house built on appetite, secrecy, and survival, they circle one another through contempt, power, and a truth neither of them can afford to touch too soon.
