At the age of fourteen years old, Valerie considered herself too old to still believe in fairy tales. She believed on walking to school with Audrey and looking at Gabriel whenever there was a sports practice or in class where he sat two seats at her right in the row before hers. She believed in hanging out with Jonathan in a secretive way only the two of them shared, she believed on the four of them sometimes hanging out after school. She believed in her aunt Moira, who sometimes went to travel to who knows where and returned with presents for her. She, did not believe in swords carefully kept away in the depths of caves waiting for fate to pick them up or men coming out of crystal cages to help. And especially, she did not believe in ancient wizards raising from the dead ready to take over the world.

"An assassin. That was what I was. That was what I had become. It all had started years ago, when I witnessed my parents' murders. And I learned something I hadn't known before: The world was corrupt. It was damaged, wrecked. I had to learn that the hard way. The High Ranks were said to be better, said to be the best. But no amount of wealth or riches changed the hidden truth above all others: they were not who they said they were." Selina Osiris Gray was normal. That is, before her parents were murdered and she was forced into a state of survival. Soon, she had to learn things - awful things - to keep herself alive in the brutally unfair society she lived in. And she had to learn to trust only her mind to make decisions, never her heart. Soon she became an infamous assassin, one that was feared and wanted, but always faceless. But everything changed once again when she began to notice small things, little details. Tiny rebellions and hints of humanity in her unjustified world. And maybe she had done terrible things, maybe she had gone through too much to ever be healed again, but regardless, Selina began to fight, and struggles came with it. Selina struggled between her past self and current self. Before, she was happy but helpless and now, she wasn't helpless, but she was guilty. Her past self was a vulnerable and weak little girl, but at least she hadn't been a murderer.

Formerly a patrol officer, he worked hard for four years and earned his promotion to Detective.

He and his team are stumped; no eyewitnesses, what evidence is present doesn't match any known databases and soon the trail goes cold. With not much to go on, a cryptic clue from their coroner and a business card given to him by his partner will send the detective on a journey into a world he thought was only fiction. Shining a new light onto his once-normal life and bringing a new angle to a case he thought was impossible to solve.
