She came to shut it down.
He came to never let it happen.
Alyssa Mervaux, ethical investigator. Precise, tough, relentless. Not afraid to take down the powerful.
Her next target: Velarion Biotech.
Officially, Velarion offers next-generation cognitive therapy for wealthy, influential patients suffering from post-traumatic disorders.
But something is off. The clinic is too perfect.
The company’s CEO, Aslan Vardem, is not just brilliant. He’s unpredictable.
He doesn’t attack. He doesn’t defend. He plays.
And once you look into his eyes, you no longer know who’s in control.
As Alyssa digs deeper, the questions multiply.
The answers don’t fit.
And desire begins to awaken in the shadow of the biggest lie.
Velarion doesn’t heal.
It rewrites.
And maybe not just the patients.
One thing is certain: someone, somewhere is playing a game.
It may not be Aslan.
But if it is, he’s the best player of all.
