The Warden's Stolen Heart

Nora Kane has a knife at the outlaw’s throat when the city grid speaks through her mouth: “Nora Kane is contaminated.” Then Elias Vey’s cursed heart starts beating inside her chest. The man she hunted is the only thing keeping Grayharbor’s magic alive—and now every wound he takes tears through her body too. Forced to run beside him while the Council brands her a traitor, Nora can’t decide what burns worse: his touch, his lies, or the way he sees through every command she gives. But as each blackout erases another memory, Nora discovers the system she swore to protect may be consuming her missing brother piece by piece. To save Finn, Nora must help Elias destroy the grid—or preserve it and let the city forget them all.
