The crippling debt left behind by her older sister shatters the quiet life of 'Mind,' an innocent young musician. She is thrust mercilessly into the clutches of 'Nalin,' the Madam of the Black Rose syndicate—an underground ruler notorious for her ruthless, ice-cold heart.
Reduced from a collateral debtor to a living plaything, Mind is forced to fight for survival within a golden cage drenched in the scent of blood and surrounded by ever-present danger. Yet, the harder she tries to escape, the deeper she is pulled into the hidden, agonizing wounds buried beneath the flawless mask of the Queen.
When hatred morphs into burning desire, and terror is replaced by an undeniable yearning... an 'invisible rope' slowly and inextricably binds their two hearts together. However, in a ruthless underworld where a bullet holds more value than a human life... love just might be the most lethal weakness of all.
