And when the children of a prominent, upcoming politician are kidnapped, she knows she's the right person to retrieve them. She just didn't expect the case to have an uncanny link to her, or that the boy who broke her heart all those years ago to be working on it too.
Louis Sanchez had spent the past seven years living in varying degrees of guilt. Ever since that fateful day, he'd almost barely caught a single glance at her. And after a year of radio silence from Io after the war ended, he was almost starting to lose hope. But then, there she was: in all her glory, working on the same case as he was.
The war may have ended, but the grudges and blood debts hadn't been paid yet. And as they investigate deeper and deeper into this strange web of lies, deception, corruption and blackmail, old secrets and skeletons long buried slowly rear their heads.
History was always doomed to repeat itself, isn't that how it goes?
