He was her best friend.
Her biggest rival.
The boy who annoyed the hell out of her.
Now he's dead, and he's never coming back.
***
Exiled for trying to take vengeance against the man who took his life, Arden finds herself wandering from city to city without a plan in mind other than to survive. But survival for those branded with the mark of Heaven's Judgement isn't all that easy.
Bandits, thieves, assassins...
People who the Stars' Virtues and Vices once protected Arden and her partner from. That protection is gone now that they find themselves on the other side of the law, hiding from the very forces they once thought stood for justice.
Arden's job to stay hidden becomes ten times harder once she hears the rumours floating around the streets, though. The rumours that say her best friend is alive and well.
There's only one problem, even if she does manage to figure out whether the whispers are true... if she goes searching for him, trying to fix her shattered heart which crumbled into pieces the second she heard about his death...
Her best friend, Chivalry, is a Virtue.
And he'll be bound by Heaven's Law to bring her in for judgement.
