Since childhood, Nafiri had learned a cruel truth: the world was not fair.
Born into a humble family of merchants in one of the lesser kingdoms under the rule of the Werewolves, her childhood was shaped by the need for survival and profit. While other children ran free through the fields, playing at hunting or exploring the woods, Nafiri grew up among stacks of goods, numbers scribbled on parchment, and ruthless negotiations.
Her family's trade extended to all supernatural races—werewolves, vampires, witches, elves, dwarves, and even humans. She learned early that each species had its own tricks, each customer a different greed, and each deal an inherent risk. Her father, a shrewd merchant named Baeky, taught her the first lesson that would guide her life: money was power, and power was everything.
