The Name Debt

The contract alarm screams as Officer Evelyn Rook slams Noa Vey against the forbidden archive wall—only to find Noa’s mark stamped on the very contract that erased Evelyn’s childhood. Worse, the file in Noa’s hands declares that she died twelve years ago. Evelyn is ordered to arrest the nameless fugitive, but the deeper they dig, the more their enemies become the only people they can trust. Every secret Noa uncovers awakens a new power—and devours one of her real memories—while Evelyn’s disciplined hatred burns into a dangerous, forbidden pull neither woman can control. To survive, they must infiltrate the council that controls every name, every destiny, and possibly both their pasts. When Noa finally discovers the truth behind her death, will she reclaim her stolen name—or sacrifice herself to free an entire city from fate?
