He buried his mistakes beneath a silver ring. She buried her last hope beneath a name. Gwen Gardner lost everything to one mistaken favor: a brilliant brother, a newborn child, a home—erased by a woman who stole a rescue, and by the man who chose to believe her. When the city called it an accident, Gwen called it a crime. She survived a fire meant to end her and woke with nothing but one promise: blood debts will be paid. Now she has the leverage no one expected—a will, a hidden witness, and an ally who can turn whispers into warrants. She will learn how to make the rich bleed reputation, how to rip apart a family’s collusion, and how to trade shame for justice. This is not a slow unraveling. This is surgical, relentless, and designed to ruin those who treated a life like a bargaining chip. She won’t ask for mercy. She’ll collect every debt in full.
