Maya Chen has built a perfect life: a thriving art gallery, a devoted boyfriend of five years, and an engagement ring glittering on the gallery floor. But when she suddenly sees a glowing zero above Dante's head—a number measuring his true affection—she discovers he's been playing a role to keep her contained, and she has nine days before something called "termination protocol" activates. Worse, everyone she turns to for help already knew the truth, and the abilities awakening inside her are the same ones that killed twelve people when she was eight years old. Now Maya must navigate a deadly game between shadowy organizations that want to control her, weaponize her, or eliminate her entirely. With her reality literally unraveling and no one left to trust, she has one chance to escape—if she can survive long enough to take it.
