17 parts Ongoing MatureGrowing up to whips marking her skin, the fear of failing her mother hardened Seraphina Aurelia Persicaria. The only goal she has ever set her mind on is ensuring that she never falls short and that all orders are accomplished as instructed, making her earn the title of the perfect pawn.
It was not a part of Seraphina's plan to meet Pierce Sullivan Stanton in one of her missions, a man of unknown background who would touch her humanity that she had long buried. His presence made her long for life and freedom, something she never tasted as she grew up training for her mother's goals.
However, as the anticipated quarter-century competition for the underground organizations is fast approaching, the weight of expectations slowly drops onto Seraphina's shoulder as the front runner for The Queen's Order, a group of paid mercenaries known for their never-failing mission.
With the promise of having freedom once they win the competition, Seraphina sets aside her desires and ignites the flame of determination inside the queen's pawn.
