Book Description
In the sealed megacity of Verath, survival is a bureaucratic transaction. Lyra Voss has spent three years falsifying her own records to hide the resonance marks spreading across her skin — proof that somewhere in the city lives her fated supernatural mate. Zane Morrow is the regime's most efficient Reclamation Officer, his Siren-Oracle heritage locked behind chemical suppressants, doing the only job that lets him control who actually gets taken. When his assigned case leads him to Lyra's door, the suppressants shatter on contact. Their bond is catastrophic, visible, and exactly what Director Rhen has been hunting for twenty years — because a completed fated bond between a Siren-Oracle and his carrier doesn't just connect two people. It ignites. And the energy of that ignition is powerful enough to collapse the Deep Floor containment systems and free the eight hundred souls the regime has been harvesting for eighteen years.
