Contains explicit content and on-page organized-crime menace. Full content note inside.He has one law: he never lies, and he never takes more than he is owed.For thirty years, Lazar Brandt has been the coast's most feared collector, a man other men call the Devil because nothing he has ever repossessed has found its way back. When a dead man's debt comes due, Lazar collects the only thing left to take: the debtor's daughter. He expects a frightened woman he can put to useful work and forget.He does not expect Alethea Marchant.She reads the truth in everything but her own life.Five years ago, Alethea was the finest authenticator in the country, until she staked her name on a masterpiece that turned out to be a forgery so perfect it took a man's fortune and his life with it. She has spent every year since believing she deserved to be ruined for it. Now she is collateral in a cold stone house above the sea, catalogued alongside the Devil's silver and his secrets, and the one thing she still knows how to do is read what a room, an object, or a man is actually worth.What she reads in Lazar's vault is a lie standing exactly where a lie should not be able to stand.The debt that delivered her here was never real. It was built, on purpose, to deliver her.Someone spent years manufacturing her father's ruin for the sole purpose of placing her inside this house, in reach of a man with the coast's whole fortune and every door that money can open. Lazar has never been robbed in his life. He has just discovered he has been paying a debt collector's wages to the one man clever enough to rob him blind, in installments, for a decade.Now the collector and his collateral have one enemy, one forged trail to follow to its source, and a house full of reasons not to trust anyone standing inside it, including each other.And a man who has never once wanted anything is starting to want the woman he was supposed to own.Alethea can read every lie a man has ever told her. She cannot read what Lazar's silences mean when he looks at her, or why a debt collector with no mercy left in him keeps finding reasons to give her more than he is owed. To survive what is coming for both of them, she has to stop pricing herself as collateral and start pricing herself as the only thing in his house worth more than he can pay.Some debts are never meant to be collected. This one is going to cost the Devil everything he owns, and give him back the one thing he never thought to want.
