She wasn't looking for them.
They found her anyway.
Raihana has spent her twenties moving quietly through the world - three continents, five cities, a life of private privilege and careful composure. She minds her own business. She expects others to mind theirs.
They don't.
Across Boston, Jakarta, New York, Montreal, and London, different people - each powerful in their own carefully constructed world - make the same irreversible mistake. They see Raihana as an obstacle. A threat. A problem to be managed.
None of them account for what she actually is.
Sharp, propulsive, and spanning three continents, The Weight of Scales is the first book in The Heiress Chronicles - a series about power, consequence, culture, and the devastating arithmetic of what even the most extraordinary people cannot do.
