Neon District 9 runs on rain, surveillance, and lies-until Seraphia Nightbloom comes home. Once heir to a ruined legacy, Seraphia is something the Syndicate can't afford to let exist: a living Aurelin weapon with a will of her own. When she learns her husband, Kael, is alive and held inside a corporate blacksite, she has only one choice-work with the Shadow Grid resistance she doesn't trust, and outplay the aunt who raised her like a project. Because Ezera Nightbloom isn't just hunting Seraphia. She's building a lattice meant to close around Seraphia's power... and everything she's fighting to protect. With time running out and the city turning predatory, Seraphia must keep her fire under control long enough to break the cage, bring Kael home, and light a rebellion that can't be put back to sleep. Seraphia Nightbloom: Book One: The Ember Queen is a gritty, cinematic sci-fi thriller packed with high-stakes action, shadow politics, and a love that refuses to break.
