Synopsis：Taken in as a child bride, Lorna Grant is raised under the same roof as the family she is meant to “belong” to—worked to exhaustion, ordered about, and treated more like property than a person. What they think is breaking her into obedience instead hardens and sharpens her. A sudden twist of fate delivers her into an elite assassin guild, where the instincts she forged surviving the wrong people become the perfect currency. She rises quietly, then all at once, until she becomes the guild’s most feared blade. The men who once overlooked, belittled, or ignored her now scramble for her favor. The household that tried to tame her never realized they were forging a weapon—one now pointed straight back at them.
