Attorney Emily Lane is very good at two things: paperwork and survival. Unfortunately, the House-an ancient, predatory casino that collects debts in lifetimes-has decided to test both.
Freshly out on her own with a one-woman practice, Emily takes on a new client: an immortal gambler desperate to renegotiate his supernatural contract. She expects quirky clauses and messy loopholes. Instead, she finds herself knee-deep in secret archives, unsettling truths, and rules written in shadows.
Now she’s caught in a game no mortal law book covers-and the House never plays fair. If she wants to win, Emily will need every ounce of wit, caffeine, and sheer mortal stubbornness she’s got.
