“Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies are eliminated. Until then, everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrupting your judgement.”- Empire by Orson Scott Card. Call that a motto, if you will; a motto in which Ana and her clan live by. Many might think that life in the mafia has many more pro’s than cons; but it doesn’t, not in this clan anyway. Weakness, failure, and 99.99% effort will not be tolerated, and will be punished severely if seen. This is not a tale of love and happiness; a fairy-tale with the perfect happily ever after ending. This is not a story for the faint hearted. “After all these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are the memoirs of another kind.”- Memoirs of Geisha. These are the memoirs of a Huntress and the challenges she faces to free those she loves.
