The Halogen Heart

About this book

In the subterranean depths of Oakhaven, where the sun is a forgotten myth, the ruling Hegemony survives on Ichor—a glowing fluid harvested from the marrow of the rare Gilded. Elara Cadoc, a Gilded survivor, has managed to evade the state's extraction vats by painting her skin with toxic lead-ash to hide her bioluminescent veins. But her precarious existence shatters when she is hunted down by Silas Macsen, a heavily scarred and rogue enforcer known as a Reaper. Instead of turning Elara in for a massive bounty, Silas harbors a twisted, deeply personal obsession with her and locks her away in his hidden sanctuary. As the Hegemony closes in on both the rogue Reaper and his captive, Elara and Silas find themselves locked in a dangerous, intoxicating game of survival and dark romance. Together, they must navigate the treacherous Abyssal Tier, confront the ghosts of Silas's brutal past, and ultimately decide whether to destroy the city's corrupt foundation or be consumed by its relentless hunger for light.
