32 parts Ongoing I agreed to it, I had no choice but to do so, even if I had never met the man who preferred to surround himself with friends over family. The man who was rumored to have his own Mafia, not that I truly believed much of it, I claimed to know nothing, to being the daughter this strange man agreed to marry over my two older sisters, both his age and he chooses me.
Only he has no idea what he's in for. I am what is known as a Bee. There are families of strategically and intellectually governed assassins across the global grid. A Bee stands on a golden pedestal, they are loyal, cunning, beautiful, but lethal. Old families arise in the face of new allies and enemies alike, danger is in every periphery of the world we run in the shadows.
The creators of those families, the distinct leaders that guide and protect our world belong to the Magisterial, a high-tailed council with billions of assets to their anonymous names and families they keep protected too. The man I was sold to was a con artist, but when he believed I was the gullible, naïve little girl...he had no idea of the Stinger blood in me.
My name...dear readers...is Lyra Stinger.
And my purpose in this life...play the cards right and maintain my title. Love and hate are too close to one another, and its not the con artist I seek...its the cunning heir at the Magisterial.
