The City chooses eleven.
Mara was never meant to be the twelfth.
At 11:11 p.m. every November 11, the City chooses eleven strangers and offers each a Door, a Fortune, and a Price. Seven years after Mara Bennett's sister Leah vanished through one, the ritual names Mara as an impossible twelfth.
Inside the City, Mara finds traces of Leah in records that should not exist, miracles built on bargains no one fully understands, and Adrian, the Anchor assigned to protect her, carrying missing memories that may explain why Mara was chosen.
As attraction turns dangerous, Mara must decide whether love can survive without control, and whether a City founded on choice can be saved from those who inherited the power to choose for everyone.
To bring her sister home, Mara must open the one Door the City was never meant to reveal.
