READ THE LAST CHAPTER Meet Emily. She's 15, living on her own with small hope her mother will get better. She works at a bookshop with a shady owner she can't stand, when she has a chance encounter with a childhood hero. She figures she'll never see him again, although as time passes, it's evident that's not what the world has in store for her. Before becoming best friends with an infamous assassin, she might've said she had nothing to live for besides hope. But now? Her stakes are much higher.
