Brienna Blackwood takes what others consider untouchable - hidden fortunes, protected masterpieces, jewels no one believes can disappear. She moves with quiet precision, leaving no trace except the patterns she can see.

But every extraction creates a shadow, and someone - an unseen intelligence inside the systems she manipulates - has begun mirroring her work, anticipating her choices, studying the architecture of her mind.

As the stakes escalate, Brienna must shift from pursuing prizes to controlling the board itself. Outmaneuvering an adversary who thinks like she does means rewriting the rules before they notice they've changed ... and the next move could alter everything.
