Double Blind
In the rain-slicked streets of Onyx Port, peace is a structural lie, enforced by a network of fragile infrastructure and flickering surveillance—and the debt is finally coming due.
Arthur Hale is a master of engineering and calculation. By day, he is the “Golden Son,” analyzing the city’s foundations at Vane Infrastructure & Risk (VIR). By night, he is a Ghost for the Union, pruning human variables to maintain a fragile balance. But the Union has gone silent, maintenance logs vanish, and his sister Maya is beginning to see the cracks in the “perfect brother” mask.
Sloane Miller is a shadow in another machine. To VIR, she is the clumsy aunt raising her orphaned nephew, Leo. To the Republic, she is the Reaper—a lethal operator trained to disappear into the city’s subterranean veins. Wary, exhausted, and haunted by loss, she keeps her instincts sharp while hiding behind deliberate incompetence.
When a mounting debt and shared target force them into a crumbling, off-books Private Investigation office—the Blind Spot—an uneasy partnership forms. A sanctuary with three strict rules: no questions about the past, no digging into personal matters, and never bring the work home.
As the city becomes a silent battlefield, Arthur and Sloane are forced into missions that will strip away every safety they’ve known. Every street, bridge, and building hides both danger and opportunity. And as trust fractures and human variables defy calculation, the only constant they can rely on… is each other.
