Selena Hart was the city's silent guardian-a hero with skin like marble and the strength of a goddess. But even gods have a weakness. For Selena, it was a voice. One word from Marcellus Vayne was all it took to turn her into a passenger in her own body.

For four years, the city's greatest hero became its most beautiful ghost. By day, she is a high-stakes thief, tearing open bank vaults with a blank stare. By night, she is a prisoner to a man who controls her every breath, her every touch, and her every release.

Bound by a mantra she can't stop repeating and a trance that turns her eyes to white, Selena is forced to endure the ultimate psychological torture: a master who demands everything but grants her nothing.

But a string pulled too tight eventually snaps. And when the hero wakes up, the master will learn that some things were never meant to be tamed.
