She went into the wrong corridor.That was all it took. One wrong turn in a private auction house, one man at the end of a hallway, one moment of eye contact that lasted exactly three seconds before she ran.Zorya Nael is a document authenticator. She reads paper for a living. She finds the thing that does not fit, the detail that betrays the forgery, the crack in the story that looks too clean.She did not expect to become the detail.Brekk Solin was sent to eliminate the witness. He did not. He has not told his organization why, and they are starting to ask.Now Zorya is locked in a safehouse with the man who was supposed to kill her, the clock is running, and the only thing standing between her and the people still looking is someone she has every reason not to trust.The problem is she is starting to anyway.And in this world, trust is the most dangerous thing you can give someone.Especially when they might deserve it.
