Grift & Shadow -

. .

Résumé :
A heist that shakes the underworld leads to alliances no one saw coming and betrayals that change everything. Monique Chase, a reporter, never anticipated that her pursuit of a story would draw her deep into the heart of the criminal underworld. Captured during a high-stakes heist at Sagewood & Birch Security, she finds herself at the mercy of Bogdan Krugin and his crew of misfits-mercenaries, dragons, and shape-shifters-all bound by uneasy alliances and shadowy motives. At first, Monique sees them as nothing more than criminals playing their dangerous games. But as she uncovers the true nature of the data stolen from Sagewood & Birch, she realizes that the power it holds could shift the balance between freedom and oppression. The ruling factions are mere pawns in a much larger, more insidious plan. And the architect behind it? The ruthless Isabel Bryxur, a force feared even by the most hardened of souls. Fueled by justice and betrayal, Monique must navigate Bryxur's treacherous web and join Bogdan's crew, making choices that test her loyalty and humanity. As the line between hero and villain blurs, she must decide: Will she defeat the enemy or become the monster she vowed to stop?...
