Lethal

Her past is a mystery; her future has been planned out for her for as long as she can remember.

Cilla has never known a normal life. She's been training since the moment she could talk to complete one objective. She's never known what it's like to be a normal teenage girl, with a family and friends and school. But she's about to jump right into the middle of this elusive "normal" life. Even after preparing for years, will she be able to carry out her mission as planned? When she finally meets the target of her objective, strange new emotions threaten to uproot everything.

But she is a weapon. And weapons don't feel emotions. Weapons only kill.
