"Trust is a fickle thing. It turns rivals into allies, and allies into rivals."

Azurine Russo, better known as the Phantom, was the best assassin the Chicago crime families had seen in centuries. When a series of murders take place, linking illegal dealings to different crime families, including the one Azurine works for, she is sent to join the ranks of the Ferrero family and pass on information to the Paolucci's. 

As Azurine navigates through the Ferrero family's ranks, she is trusted with the safety of Gideon Ferrero, the son of and eventual boss of the family. When further investigation leads to Azurine witnessing a bone-chilling conversation between the suspect of the homicides and a person she knew, she takes a step back and analyses the dangerous game she had entered unknowingly. Though she was but a pawn in the game of kings, she knew how to sneak her way to becoming their queen.

"You see, Romeo, I live in a world of nightmares. What better way to scare away the nightmares than to become a nightmare ourselves?"
