Helena knows that nothing important in a room is ever accidental. Not the light. Not the seating. Not the glass moved half an inch to the left. Not the silence that makes everyone listen. She has built a life on discernment: beautiful spaces, exacting standards, and the quiet authority to decide what belongs where. In her world, attention is a form of power, and elegance is rarely innocent. A dinner table can become a stage. A correction can feel like a confession. A single approving word can alter the course of a life. Around Helena moves a circle of women who are brilliant, watchful, ...

Desert night shrouds the capital city in its heady warmth. Heath and Caio walk the winding alleyways, absorbing sights of unrestrained decadence.

The time has arrived for his audience with the Emperor of Lust.
