Magane has survived the streets of San Francisco using her wits and her superhuman abilities, stealing just enough to stay alive but never enough to escape the crushing weight of homelessness. One night, a shadowy stranger makes her an offer too tempting to refuse: a fortune that could pull her out of the gutter for good. The catch? She must use her powers to kill-becoming a hitwoman for hire, with every life she takes adding more to her payout.
At first, the decision seems clear. But as the bodies pile up and the blood on her hands deepens, Magane's conscience begins to unravel. The money is good, but the nightmares are worse. With every new target, the line between right and wrong blurs, and she starts to wonder: how many lives must she destroy before she loses her own?
This book is the sequel to MAX SUMMIT: Black Swan.
