Liege: Book 1
by Stella A. Amary
Six women. One man. A penthouse forty stories above Manhattan. And a secret that has been running for three hundred years. Von Blackstone is charming. Supernaturally so. The women in his household love him completely, obey him willingly, and never question how they got there. When the names wear thin, he gives them new ones. When the women wear out, he replaces them. The system has worked for centuries. Then Jennifer Amadi walks into his life — and into his penthouse — and something unprecedented happens. She wakes up. Now Jennifer is trapped inside a world she was never supposed to see clearly, falling in love with a man she was never supposed to understand, and building a case against a machine that has been consuming women since before her country existed. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes: the monster and the man she loves are the same person. And stopping one might mean destroying the other.
