Faith Mitchell was never confident. She was happy to blend into the background, much to the protest of her friends. At 16, her life was a normal teenage cliche. She was in love with Jace, the obnoxious player who she couldn't have, and her biggest worry was whether or not he would finally come to his senses and see that she really was the one for him. That is until she is kidnapped and recruited by a secret agency of assassins. She is torn away from her normal teenage life and thrown into a world of guns, knifes and criminals. The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on. Then, the agency has a new mission which involves Faith returning to her hometown, and facing her friends, family and the very boy who broke her heart just before it turned into stone. What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace? Will the obnoxious player be able to reach out and get the old Faith back without pressing any of her wrong buttons, considering that the shy girl he once knew now has a gun.

April 5, X027. A man dead. A postcard left. A mystery unsolved. Shades are creatures born from the darkness within human hearts. Hundreds of years have passed since these monsters first roamed the earth, as if to ever remind humanity that they can never escape from their sins. Or so it seemed but only a select few can see them. Dubbed the Castyph, they are users of magic capable of exterminating these shades and allowing them to return the earth from which they came from. St. Jude Academy exists to assist the Castyph in developing skills necessary to battle these shades. By year X027, nine students join the fray as one Class 1 - A and form as one group of teenagers dedicated to saving people. Yet as time passes by, with each shade that returned to the earth, the darkness only ever grew. And it was too late before they realized that they too had been playing at the hands of an enemy. An enemy who may as well destroy the bonds that they've formed.
