4 parts Ongoing MatureBorn into the treacherous world of the Italian Mafia, where power was a realm exclusively reserved for men, life for women was a delicate balancing act. Avena's mother had drilled into her the importance of toeing the line, never crossing the men who ruled their lives.
But Avena refused to be a pawn in their game. Behind her facade as an intelligent, reserved, and seemingly innocent teenager lay a fearsome, lethal assassin who thrived on the thrill of taking lives. She was not one to be protected; she killed not out of necessity, but out of a passion for it. She would go to any length, even using violence, to assert control over her destiny.
Avena's life as an assassin was governed by four unbreakable rules:
1. Execute the target, leaving no witnesses.
2. Guard her secrets with unwavering resolve.
3. Protect only those who truly mattered to her.
4. Never violate any of the first three rules.
Step into the shadowy world of Avena as she navigates high-stakes hit jobs, hidden identities, firearms, narcotics, a trail of corpses, deceit, hatred, treachery, adrenaline-pumping encounters, dark and dangerous obsessions, a tangled love triangle, carnal desires, and the perilous allure of a toxic love affair. Each step she takes is a dance on the razor's edge, teetering between survival and self-destruction.
