Cressida Curtain has gone from hunting bad guys to being hunted, and she's been forced into hiding for safety. She yearns to dig her claws into a new assignment to alleviate the boredom of her current lifestyle. The thrill of the chase calls to her.
She never expected adventure to land, quite literally, on her doorstep in the form of two strangers. Both seek help from Cressida to further their own agendas. One is trustworthy. One is not. A wake of death and destruction seems to follow them.
Her chosen family is relying on her to make the right choice. And making the wrong one could have dire consequences-for her loved ones, for her personal safety, and even for her world.
Nobody told her that being the legacy bearer would be this difficult.
