He refuses to lose control. And somewhere between the hatred, the reckless defiance, and the brutal truths, lies a pull neither of them can escape. Enemies. Opposites.

Have you ever heard a man scream, really scream, as he's being beaten and his fingers broken one by one? I have. And as twisted as it might sound, in that moment, it felt... satisfying.

Someone has to be the shadow in the corner, the final judgment behind a red-drenched smile. That someone is me. Reanne Anderson. Twenty-four. Assassin for the Anderson family.
