In a totalitarian city split into rings of privilege and poverty, a hardened assassin is sent to kill the president's son and public executioner, only to have the job go wrong and leave them bound together by a punishing political marriage. Trapped under constant surveillance, the two former enemies must navigate a household built to control them while a growing rebellion and buried family secrets threaten to tear the regime apart. It's a slow-burn, morally grey dystopian romance where intimacy and violence are never far apart, and where the line between captor and ally keeps shifting.
