Gilded Cage

In the sovereign state of Veridia, heir to a media empire, Elena Ashford, is forced into a political marriage with Dominic Vane, the scion of a rival surveillance-tech dynasty. Their union is a spectacle of opulent affection, broadcast to a nation teetering on the brink of authoritarian control. Yet behind the manicured smiles and synchronized hand-holding lie hidden cameras, encrypted data streams, and a murder plot that tightens like a garrote. As Elena discovers the marriage is a carefully designed prison built on the bones of a police brutality cover-up, she realizes that the machinery of power and deception will not halt for her tears. Fate’s gears grind on, indifferent, and her only escape is to play the deadliest role of her life.
