Highest Ranking: #769 Science Fiction

Rosalind Lupo has everything in the world: including a target on her back. Born into a crime empire during an era of war and poverty, Roz despises the lengths her predecessors have taken to survive. 
But she wonders if everyone else is penniless, where is her family getting the money?

Underground. Literally.

Thousands of miles of tunnels and bunkers harbor a forgotten sector of the population, where blood and money run freely. Everyone is out for themselves, and the line between good and evil has become blurred.

When tragedy strikes and the family business is thrown into limbo, she's forced to consider whether to save her soul, or become the tyrant she was destined to be.
