At four years old, Octavia Hope Moretti was sold to the Russians. Four years later, they sent her back-trained, scarred, and invisible to a mother too high and a stepfather too drunk to care.
By fifteen, she was leading her own family: the Hopeless Creed-Ruin, her cold and protective father who will kill without question a traitor but also will kill anyone who touches his kids; Vex, her brother in blood and closest partner; and Lark, the child the Russians raised to kill and they saved . Together, they're a whisper of fear in the underworld, emotionless to outsiders, unshakably loyal within.
When her mother and stepfather die in a drunken crash, Octavia is forced back into the Moretti empire-a father and seven brothers who never stopped searching.
They expect the happy, loving child they once knew
but that child is long buried
Only Hopeless remains
