In Las Vegas, the stars are not symbols.
They are offices. Weapons. Bloodlines. Laws.
Scorpio is the Order's perfect assassin. Elegant. Precise. Lethal. A woman shaped by ritual, violence, and obedience until mercy became inefficient and identity became irrelevant.
She does not question her House.
She does not hesitate.
She does not miss.
Then the Order assigns her a new Seneschal.
Europa is too large, too strange, too literal, and too dangerous to fit anywhere cleanly inside Scorpio's immaculate life. She eats like an animal, watches like a predator, and sees things in Scorpio no one else has ever been allowed to see.
At first, Europa is an inconvenience.
Then she becomes evidence.
Because beneath the silk, blood, contracts, and ritual hierarchy of Las Vegas, Scorpio begins to uncover a truth the Order buried inside its own machinery: the Zodiac is not merely governed.
It is manufactured.
Declared rogue and hunted by the killers she once called allies, Scorpio must survive occult hierarchy, sanctioned violence, buried protocols, and the impossible girl who may be the first person to recognize the woman beneath the office.
In the Zodiac Protocol, loyalty is a leash.
The Order made her useful.
Becoming real will make her dangerous.
Book One of When Stars Align, a twelve-book dark occult urban fantasy thriller series where each book follows a different Zodiac and every story echoes forward.
For readers who want John Wick intensity, Constantine occultism, morally gray found family, and emotional damage that carries on.
