Tiles & Treachery

A quiet game of Mahjong was supposed to be the safest thing Paige Calloway did all week.

No villains. No missions. No saving the world. Just Grandma, a table full of retired vigilantes, enough trash talk to qualify as psychological warfare, and Paige desperately trying to figure out which tiles she's supposed to keep.

Then June doesn't show up.

When Paige discovers that Grandma's longtime friend is dead, what looked like an ordinary absence starts feeling a whole lot more sinister. June had been asking questions before she died—questions about an old vigilante mission that ended in disaster, two dead heroes, and a notorious criminal who somehow knew every move the team was going to make.

Someone betrayed them.

And June may have finally figured out who.

Now Paige and Grandma are digging through decades-old secrets, suspicious teammates, hidden warnings, and one very inconvenient cover-up while Paige tries to balance academy life, the upcoming Spring Vigilante Showcase, and a relationship with Rhys that is becoming increasingly difficult to pretend is casual.

Because someone at that Mahjong table knows what happened all those years ago.

And if they were willing to kill once to keep the truth buried, Paige might be their next move.

Old heroes have long memories, dangerous secrets, and one hell of a poker face.
