In a crumbling city where fear governs the streets, gang alliances are fragile, and trust is a commodity few can afford, a neutral but terrifying gang leader known as "Vex" rules her domain with a blade and a secret past. Feared for her cold precision and signature red bandana that conceals the scar over her emerald eyes, Vex avoids emotional attachments-until she becomes entangled with a mysterious killer whose icy blue eyes haunt her dreams. They call him "Skoll"-a masked reaper cloaked in death and whispers. But under the skull mask lies something twisted... and something heartbreakingly human.
