In a city built of circles, there is no place to hide.
In the walled nation of Acheron, wealth is measured in light. The elite thrive in the golden sun of Sector 0, while the "unfortunate" are buried in the lightless subway tunnels of the outer rings. Divided by the Great Spine-a train system that splits the world into Left and Right Wings-everyone has a place. Everyone is watched.
Lucy De Fontaine is a master of masks. A former elite agent turned corporate social worker, she navigates the Ward with cold, porcelain perfection. But a phantom is stalking the tracks. They call him the Eye-Man Killer, a high-velocity vigilante executing the city's untouchable monsters.
As a Level 3 curfew descends and the Wardens seal the wings, Lucy realizes the killer isn't just cleaning the streets-he's coming for her. Benjamin Brier, a ghost from her past, has escaped the abyss, and he's drawn to the only person who ever treated him like a man.
The lights of the city are failing. The "Blue Line" is screaming. And Lucy is about to find out that being seen by a monster is a death sentence.
One city. Two wings. No escape.
