Everyone in New York has a secret. Annorah Moretti is about to find one that was never meant to be found.
At twenty-one, Annorah is smart, ambitious, and determined to build a future in law. She knows how to read people, recognize patterns, and find weaknesses others overlook.
Then a simple late-night job changes everything.
A strange delivery.
A mysterious name.
A door that shouldn't exist.
Before long, Annorah is caught between powerful people who never seem to say exactly what they mean and strangers who know things about her they shouldn't.
There is something beneath the city.
Something hidden.
Something that has survived by making sure no one looks too closely.
Annorah doesn't know what it is.
She only knows it knows about her.
As the danger closes in, she finds herself drawn toward the one person who makes her feel safe-Shiloh, a man who was never supposed to become anything more than a passing part of her life.
But trust becomes dangerous when everyone has something to hide.
And the closer Annorah gets to the truth, the more she begins to wonder:
Did she uncover the hidden system...
or did it choose her?
