To escape the monster, she must create one of her own.

Ava is a brilliant engineer, envied by all. She’s also utterly alone.

When the only man who ever loved her vanishes without a trace—robbing her of a future she’d barely allowed herself to dream of—she buries her grief by marrying the most eligible bachelor in their dying city, Silrovia. He’s sexy and dangerous, their life amongst the elite filled with endless excitement and decadence Ava never knew existed.

A new family, a gorgeous husband, and the perfect career—it’s everything she ever wanted, until she peels back the glittering veneer. Behind diamonds and high-society smiles lies a nightmare of absolute corruption, forcing Ava to realize she's been tricked into a golden cage to profit her new family. Her marriage is irrevocable and her time is limited, her life only safe as long as she is useful.

To survive the monsters surrounding her, Ava must hunt down her beloved and forge an alliance built on revenge.

The catch?

Death has already visited the man her soul longs for, and to survive, Ava must make a desperate attempt to piece together a miracle of flesh, metal, and devotion.
