And if you thought Prime was chaos… you're not ready.

Quest is the oldest. The CEO. The fixer. The one who holds the whole empire together while carrying the kind of damage he'd never let anyone see. He decided a long time ago that love wasn't for him. Women lie. Women leave. And the one who hurt him the worst left wounds he's still bleeding from fourteen years later.

Mehar Ali knows a thing or two about wounds. She's got her own collection, courtesy of the men who were supposed to protect her and didn't. She rebuilt herself from scratch, on her own terms, with her own hands. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not some arrogant, overbearing, too-fine-for-his-own-good CEO who thinks the world bends when he tells it to.

But demons recognize demons. And when two people who've been surviving alone their whole lives finally let their guards down at the same time? Nobody in their circle is ready for what comes next.

Quest is the next installment of the Banks Empire Series — a spinoff of the Prime trilogy. Dark romance. Mature themes. Strong language. Content that may be triggering for some readers.
