Summary
Harper Voss is alive. In East Halworth, that is a debt, not a mercy.
The Syndicate owns her now. Her time, her training, her name. What she gets in return is a gilded version of the same cage: better quarters, real food, a commander assigned to make her useful instead of dead. It is still a cage.
Not everyone under Roman's banner is willing to forget what she was, and they make sure she knows it. The jobs that follow test her in ways the training floor never could, putting her shoulder to shoulder with the people who burned her old life to the ground as the Syndicate's war with the Black Maw drags her back through things she thought she had left behind. Somewhere in the middle of surviving them, she starts trusting the ones standing beside her. Against her better judgement, she starts calling some of them friends.
Then, Harper stopped being a problem the Syndicate had to solve and became something worth protecting. That is a far more dangerous thing to be.
They bury what they can't hold onto. Harper Voss is about to find out how far the people who refuse to let go of her are willing to fall.
