Project Lyra

by Luna Knight

When graduate student Anara Vance wakes to find her name listed in a classified file called Project Lyra, she learns the truth no one was meant to she isn’t a survivor by luck—she’s a target that was never retrieved.

Enter Dimitri Hale, a man with a scarred past and too many ghosts. Once a security operative for Lyra, he helped dismantle the operation—an underground network trafficking human lives for profit. But when a new name surfaces at the center of its rebirth, The Orpheus Foundation, he discovers the organization he thought he buried is alive…and that the woman he’s begun to fall for is at the heart of it.

Now hunted by the same people who built her file, Anara must navigate a web of lies, coded drop sites, and the haunting betrayal of a friend she thought she could trust. And as the truth unravels, Dimitri’s vow to protect her begins to slip into something darker—a devotion that borders on dangerous.
