NEON
HEIRESS

A locked box produces a birth certificate. In a single afternoon Reyna inherits a claim to one of the largest gaming fortunes in Nevada, a family that erased hers as routine housekeeping, and the attention of people who have been fighting over Fremont Street for longer than anyone will admit.

She can take the money and disappear, the way her mother did. Or she can stand on the block and make them say her name out loud.

A clinic promising sanctuary to the people nobody is looking for, and taking far more than it gives. A tunnel system beneath the city connecting a war Reyna didn't know she was already fighting. And a decision that can't be taken back.

Every answer opens a door to a darker one. Her own family's hands aren't as clean as she believed, and the people she trusts aren't always who they claim to be.

A stolen book. A father's twenty-six-year-old fear, finally proven true. And a symbol in the margins of something far older than either of the men who've spent a century circling her city.

The trail leads north, to a mountain that doesn't appear on any map that matters. What Reyna finds there will arm her — but not with anything she can explain, or anyone she can tell. Because the price isn't paid once. It's paid in silence, every day, to the people who love her most.

Some things aren't meant to be owned. They're meant to be given away.
