Nora's silent thoughts blast through a hidden device, blowing the fake heir's cover at dinner.
On Blackwood Island, a powerful dynasty has one month to locate its missing bloodline before the founder's 80th death anniversary transfers total control to the impostor already wearing the crown. Nora Quinn, twenty-eight, enters the manor as a notary's assistant, desperate for the fee to fund her mother's surgery and the records to exonerate her father Thomas, executed decades earlier for a kidnapping he never committed. During the welcome dinner, a severed chandelier cable plunges toward her; in that suspended second, the family's core members intercept her private thoughts through a concealed bone-conduction device. Every buried secret — her father's innocence, the true heir's fate — floods the room. The sabotage traces back to Adrian, the polished heir apparent, whose biological father Silas, the family's chief attorney, engineered the infant swap twenty-nine years ago and pinned the crime on Thomas.
