If the library is silent after midnight, don't read the names on the wall. One of them is already yours....
The collar snaps shut around Tess Calder’s throat—and Vivian Cross’s face appears on the kill order. She has seventy-two hours to murder the city’s golden hero, or the villain contract will kill her first. Tess only signed with the villain agency to pay her debts, but now she’s Fallstar, a gravity-wielding disaster with a tracker in her neck and a quota to fill. Every clash with Vivian leaves her bruised, breathless, and less certain she can pull the trigger—especially when the perfect hero grabs her wrist and whispers, “Wear a mask next time, idiot.” But Vivian is hunting the truth, Silas Vane is tightening the leash, and Tess’s best friend may be the only one who can break her collar. When Vivian discovers evidence that Fallstar has been beside her all along, will Tess kill the girl she loves—or tear down both sides before the contract takes them both?
