Maya Reeves is a trauma surgeon who believes in facts, not fate. When a patient's burns begin to heal at impossible speed and a bomb staged to silence witnesses explodes outside her apartment, her life unravels into a world of sentinels, House politics, and living shadow magic. Kael, a three-hundred-year-old Shadow Sentinel, claims her as his Shadow Twin-the one person his compulsion can't touch-and drags her into a cold-iron war against Silas, a rogue who converts humans into programmable thralls.

Thrown into a fortified warehouse and a bond she didn't ask for, Maya must master combat and a monstrous new body while Silas hunts down anyone who treated the thrall. Each time she chooses to stand by Kael she risks losing herself to the virus that can make her immortal-and to a law that could bind her forever. With her brother on the line and a city of living shadows closing in, Maya faces the one question that won't leave her: is survival enough if it means surrendering her choice?
