Submit. Rise. Triumph.
Nala’s sister is dead.
The man who killed her has vanished into a refuge of indulgence and depravity—one Nala can’t infiltrate it alone.
Enter Varen Lake, a mysterious tech savant with connections in all the right places. She offers Nala a way in: submit to her and step into the gilded cage of Xan Ravenwood’s seductive empire. A world of power, pleasure, and peril known only as The Aviary.
To uncover the truth of her sister’s death, Nala must don the codename Nightingale and play the perfect submissive, even as Varen’s every touch threatens to unravel her resolve. But the deeper she sinks into this dangerous masquerade, the more she realizes that Varen is hiding something, too.
Something full of soul-shattering heartbreak.
And falling for Varen might be the most dangerous mistake of all.
