Between breaking your sister's heart by refusing to help?
Or breaking yours by agreeing to?
Life comes around in a circle, people often say.
What you most try to avoid is thrown straight on your face.
Vanessa's life is close to a teenager's definition of tragedy.
But an odd opportunity could make things better or worse.
A secret mission.
A past friend turned runaway turned accomplice.
A family with a past that could ruin her life.
And a possible delinquent blood relative.
What could possibly go right?

Phoenix
My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school.
