Everyone fears contamination.
Avery Nimh has spent her entire life hiding what she is. One touch can kill. In Poison City, that’s enough to make her the most dangerous person alive.
Blaine Morana is the Black Vein Angel—a legendary assassin engineered by the ruling Houses to survive what should kill any normal person.
Cold, ruthless, and emotionally hollow, he was created to eliminate threats without hesitation. Avery should be just another assignment. Instead, she’s the only person he can’t stay away from.
When a series of disappearances leads them beneath the city’s streets, they uncover a conspiracy built on illegal experiments, missing children, and a poison powerful enough to reshape humanity itself.
Now they’re hunted by the very people who created Blaine. As riots ignite, secrets buried for decades begin to surface, and the line between monster and savior starts to blur.
Because the greatest threat to Poison City isn’t the girl everyone fears…
It’s the truth.
