Nova was raised by her mother, by whom she was titled a "drunken mistake." Why she was to be blamed by her own mother's lack of self preservation, she didn't understand. What she DID understand were the numbers. She'd always been good with numbers. And crime. In which 13 year old daughter of Thanatos scares the ever-loving hell out of a Satyr and builds her own way home.
