Leyla grew up in the Undercity before moving above grounds to attend school. To ensure her safety, her father let Leyla establish a life far from his organization-despite her desire to prove that she is more than merely his precious daughter. If only he would give her a chance.

Dominic is the Archangel and Prime of Ashar, and his powers keep the city safe. With more than a hundred years behind him, he has faced many trials, including heartbreak and grief. Trust is not a commodity he gives out freely, though his best friends are the exception.

Unrest is brewing in the Undercity, and with a new drug on the streets, Ashar is more unsafe than ever before. Leyla and Dominic are driven together when both have a role to play that will determine their futures. They are wary and unsure about each other, but an inexplicable force seems to draw them closer. Regardless of their reasons for maintaining their distance, emotionally or physically, their eyes continue meeting, their touches keep lingering, and their attraction deepens.

As they find themselves trapped in a web of lies, it becomes impossible to uncover who began weaving it-and who is telling the truth.
