Power is inherited. Silence is enforced. Gold rooms always come at a cost.
Sadira Abadi was raised to survive beautiful rooms and dangerous people.
As the daughter of one of Los Angeles's most powerful legacy families, she has spent her life obeying the rules of the Velvet Table-an elite secret society where loyalty is everything and betrayal is never forgotten.
When the Table's leader dies, the balance of power begins to fracture, pulling Sadira into a dangerous struggle for control. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Dominick Nerano, the Table's new Fourth Throne, she must navigate a world of corruption, betrayal, and shifting loyalties, where every relationship has a price and every secret is worth killing to protect.
Everyone wants control.
Everyone has something to hide.
And no alliance is safe.
