Daylight

In a riverbound city where doors remember names and silence can kill, daylight is the only law that can't be bribed. Mara West keeps the bell honest. Roan Vale breaks the rules that deserve breaking. Together they invent a new kind of faith-part love story, part civic rebellion: three hands or none, no silent fives, doors open to rooms with clocks. But when a corrupt Accord rewrites consent into convenience and a man who once sold the city its hungriest doors returns with windows that can think, the pair become the hinge holding everything together.
Every doctrine they wrote, every line they swore by, will be tested in light too bright to lie. As the river rises and the city learns to count out loud, Mara and Roan face one last rule: the price of daylight is always personal.
