What if everything you once thought you knew and everything you believed in was just a lie, crafted and constructed by not only people who "loved" you, but people you cared about, strangers who you thought knew nothing about you, and everyone you thought you could trust? Slade Walker thought he was just another nobody, living in the small town called Baylice, but in all reality, Baylice doesn't even exist, and him being a nobody? That's about as ludicrous as saying the sun doesn't rise and set each day. What if everything around you, even "your" memories, were all fabricated up by the government? What if, even at age 17, you were their top assassin and agent and knew everything they knew? You were compliant and reliable, well that is until they did something unforgivable. One of the best assassins who knows how they work and also the resources they have is not good at all for the government. That's just ludicrous, right? Well, not for Slade Walker, but he doesn't remember anything about it, for the time being, that is. Join him on his adventure to take down his government and remember his true identity. It'll be a wild ride.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
