Welcome to Illusion Town on the colony world of Harmonyâlike Las Vegas on Earth, but way more weird.
Living in this new, alien world doesnât stop the settlers from trying to re-create what theyâve left behind. Case in pointâweddings are still the highlight of any social calendar. But itâs the after-party that turns disastrous for Lucy Bell. Kidnapped and drugged as she
leaves the party, she manages to escapeâonly to find herself lost in the mysterious, alien underground maze of glowing green tunnels beneath Illusion Town. Sheâs been surviving on determination and cold pizza, scavenged for her by a special dust bunny, when help finally shows up.
Gabriel Jones is the Guild Hunter sent to rescue her, but escaping the underground ruins is only the beginning of Lucyâs troubles. With no rational reason for her abduction, and her sole witness gone on another assignment for the Guild, whispers start circulating that Lucy
made it all up. Soon her life unravels until she has nothing left but her pride. The last thing she expects is for Gabriel Jones to come back to town for her.
The Lucy that Gabriel finds is not the same woman he rescued, the one who looked at him as if he were her hero. This Lucy is sharp, angry, and more than a little cynicalâinstead of awe, she treats him with extreme caution. But a killer is still hunting her, and there arenât a
lot of options when it comes to heroes. Despite her wariness, Gabriel is also the one person who believes Lucyâafter all, he was there. Heâs determined to help clear her reputation, no matter what it takes. And as the new Guild Boss, his word is law, even in the lawlessness of Illusion Town.
