Rowan Fletcher's life is kind of a disaster: pizza boxes on the floor, fried electronics under the coffee table, and night after night of debugging alone. One evening, during a run for late-night rations, Rowan spots her neighbor Shanti through the apartment window, dancing like nobody's watching, glowing gold against the city's gray. Sparks fly when a microwave mishap kills the building's power, bringing Shanti to Rowan's door with a candle and a smile. But Shanti carries more than warmth: a carved wooden pendant, a father's cryptic warning, and a heritage connected to something ancient. Powerful people are watching, and they've waited a long time for the right key to walk through the wrong door. From candlelit blackouts to the bone-stacked tunnels beneath Paris, from midnight betrayals to data trails that circle the globe, two women will discover that falling in love is easy. Keeping each other is the hard part.
