In a city split into two opposing sides, power comes in many forms: bloodlines, money, love, and—most importantly—secrets.
An heiress in the most notorious family in Lynchaven, Camilla Marchese is doing all she can to keep her family's syndicate, the Iron Saint Railway, from slipping into bankruptcy. When the gorgeous and depraved Nicolai Attano, the leader of a rival family, offers to pay off the inspector in exchange for her hand, she has no choice but to give up not only her throne—but her name.
Nico has his own motivations for their union beyond maintaining peace with her family. A serial kidnapper known as The Collector has been ravaging the streets of Remnant Row, stirring up mistrust between natives and descendants. If Milla can help restore safety to his streets, he'll have no need for her or her family's company. Find the Collector, prevent a war between their sides of the city, and pay off the family debt before she turns twenty-one. If Milla can fulfill her end of the bargain, she'll walk away with more freedom than she's ever had before.
This deal plunges Milla into the city's dark underbelly where remnant magic and arcane science compete in a deadly game of depravity. When forbidden feelings rise for her new husband and dark family secrets come to light, Milla must discover the truth about her past before it gets them both killed or worse—collected.
Set in a post-industrial age setting on a magical isle, Peaky Blinders meets the magic system of the Grishaverse in this rivals-to-lovers adult fantasy romance.

Truly a great work in the Romantasy Genre.
It is Peaky Blinders / magic system / gas lamp vibes.
The romance was 👌🏽✔️
The magic system was 🪄✔️
The spice wasn’t insane, but I appreciated one particularly well crafted scene.
I was more of a fan of the male narrator than the female narrator. Both did a great job though.
The author does an incredible job at world building, while forwarding the plot, introducing the characters/developing their personalities & relationships, explaining a magic system, while simultaneously providing a gripping storyline for the reader. There’s an art to crafting and wielding a compelling fictional work, and this author accomplishes it. I appreciate not being spoon fed everything, while also not making it overly complicated.
I’ll definitely read/listen to the second instalment in this storyline because Nicolai, I mean Alexis Menard will leave you quite literally in a chokehold… If ya know, ya know.
It will leave you in a chokehold….
