Beautiful Reckoning

In a city forged by fire, what remains after the flames?

Beautiful Reckoning is the explosive second installment in the Beautiful series-a searing tale of vengeance, survival, and the cost of justice in a city on the brink.

River Creek is reeling in the aftermath of Victor La Concha's reign. His deadly creation-Siren's Ambrosia-still poisons the streets, and his plan to rebuild the world in ash isn't over. As alliances crack and loyalties blur, a fractured resistance must decide what price they're willing to pay to stop him.

Ariana Bennett, scarred by loss and rising in political ranks, takes the fight directly to Victor's empire. Lexi Montalvo returns home to a broken family and a city she barely recognizes. Eric Castillo, Marisol, and the infamous Captain Blackfin try to unify outlaw factions, while Madison-a former pawn in Victor's game-seeks redemption and a future for the son she swore to protect.

The battle for River Creek turns deadly when a mission gone wrong unleashes a toxic cloud of Ambrosia, triggering mutations and madness. And at the heart of it all is Roman, the only man who might hold the key to a cure-and the last hope to end Victor's final plan: The Ashes of Babel, a full reset of society through chaos and collapse.

As betrayals mount and old powers resurface, the line between hero and villain disappears.

Beautiful Reckoning is a gritty, high-stakes dystopian thriller where every choice costs blood, and survival means facing the monsters within.
