Alessia Vero remembers being poisoned and buried while her father watched. She wakes at her eighteenth-birthday dinner, a year before that death, with another dangerous toast already waiting. Armed with memories and the covert resources of Nightglass, she begins tracing the succession plot behind her family's welcome. But surviving the Vero household will mean dismantling an empire that treats daughters and dockworkers as disposable. With Luca beside her, Alessia must decide what kind of future is worth building once she no longer needs her father's crown.
