Ligeia should inherit an ocean empire. Instead, her own father and his new wife drug her with a nerve poison and bury her inside a psychiatric ward, where nobody believes a word she says. When she finally breaks out, she has no money, no allies and a body that is slowly failing her.
Desperate, she hires Felix, a washed-up bodyguard who seems to want nothing but his pay. What she doesn't know is that he commands a feared mercenary unit, and he is quietly fighting the toxin in her blood while hunting the traitors around her. As Ligeia claws back the company piece by piece, the danger grows deadlier, and so does the pull between her and the man guarding her life.
