Rose has lived her life in the shadows of the city’s power players, serving as second-in-command to Joshua—until everything changes.

The cemeteries stand empty, the gates to the underworld sealed without explanation. The Human Protection Agency is gone, replaced by silence. And the whispers she’s tried to ignore have turned into a roar.

Worsening visions and poisonous potions drive her to take action, recruiting a misfit crew: a streetwise mage, a cursed fighter, and others too stubborn—or too broken—to walk away.

Each clue unearths more tangled lies, revealing a city ensnared in dark magic and an enemy patient enough to let the rot spread. To save the people they love, Rose and her crew must risk not just their lives but their sanity, facing powers that twist truth, warp loyalty, and erase the line between living and dead.

If they fail, the city won’t just fall—it will be devoured from within.
