The kingdom does not care who they kill—only that they kill.
Saphira Valcrow has spent her life as a weapon, trained to take lives without hesitation. Each kill lowers the inked number on her wrist, bringing her one step closer to freedom. Now, she has only one name left.

In a world where warriors are either predators or prey, Saphira must decide: does she finish the mission that will set her free—or risk everything for the one man who could be her ruin?
