The Constantine Hotel bleeds into the dawn, and Vera Moretti has three days to prove she can hold what she and her brother tore from the Covenant's corpse-or watch eight crime families divide it like carrion. Then comes the message no one expects: The Architect-the shadow who built the city's underworld-was never just a man, and ideas don't burn. A masked envoy delivers an ultimatum and a promise: survive the next seventy-two hours... or lose everything.When the Constantine explodes and a taunting broadcast declares, "The game begins," Vera, biotech-altered Dante, and former-enemy-turned-ally Ronan Vale confront the real war: three disguised transmission towers are set to trigger a citywide "evolution," hijacking every enhanced body-including theirs. To stop it, they'll need impossible timing, unholy alliances, and a willingness to become the very weapons the Covenant tried to forge. Because if even one tower stands, the city falls.Dark Flame's Reckoning is a sleek, high-heat techno-noir of blood and binary-found family at gunpoint, razor-edged romance, and an enemy who proves that architecture can outlive its architect. Perfect for readers of brutal politics, bio-thrillers, and slow-burn sparks that ignite under fire.
