The Painted Lion & The Threadbare Rose

From a forcibly orphaned slave, to a runaway, to an assassin and a secret government dog shrouded in shadow, Rubina Dalphon's life has been anything but predictable. To add to the strangeness, her very best friend to whom she owes her life is an 11 foot tall killing machine with strange powers and a face full of Kabuki makeup who is hopelessly in love with the clueless sniper. To make matters even worse, she can't help being drawn to their gorgeous but heartless head team member. Can happiness be found when you live every day dancing across the lines of life and death under orders beneath the cover of anonymity or will it all be blown to pieces along with their headquarters?
