Ayla has spent three years becoming the perfect replica of President Kane Michel — 127 micro-expressions, 23 types of laughter, 9 silences before anger. She is his shadow, his human shield. Then Kane vanishes, leaving her to rule in his place. But the mask hides more than a face. Ayla discovers a hidden drug, a frozen conspiracy beneath Alaska, and a secret that connects her father to Kane's family. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: she wasn't chosen for her skill. She was chosen for her blood. Now, trapped between a president who trusts no one and a truth that could end them both, Ayla must decide: remain a shadow — or become the one thing they never expected. Herself.
