The Villain Wants to Stay Hidden

Mira keeps her strength hidden because the fighting world trusts a silent woman less than a safe lie. She can read every move in a room before it happens, but reading danger does not stop it. Three generations of debt have come due, and the people collecting it want her family name, her body, and her future. A duel hall, a ferry crossing, and a mirror trick force her closer to a forbidden method she swore never to use. The black fan at her belt carries a name she cannot place, and her closest ally may be tied to the debt she has spent her life avoiding.
