Aries Bristol is a bounty hunter.
The best of the best, most terrifying, and she's a woman, frowned upon by all.
"Women shouldn't fight," they say, on and on.
"Women shouldn't get their hands dirty."
"Women are weak." "Women are powerless."
"Women are toys, puppets, made to look at and enjoy."

They thought they were geniuses. Adding to her misery.

She proved them wrong.

And she always will.

When she is called upon by an Aristocrat, Aries is hired to find a Demhi---a person---a race--- that is immortal. But she knows they don't exist anymore. They didn't die, no, they disappeared. As if they never existed.

...Didn't they?

So, of course, she finds this bounty dumb... until she is paid one hundred thousand for the job, enough to sustain her for life...

As she goes on her mission, she defeats many people, from drunken thugs to gang leaders. She also gets visons, dreams, and prompting from her Patron goddess, Thana, the goddess of death. As she is fulfilling her job, she meets a man. A very enigmatic figure, one she comes to know as he confronts her and travels alongside her.

As they travel together, they bond, becoming good friends...or more. They unveil a path of dark secrets... some connected to their pasts.
In the midst of all this, Aries deals with depression, suffering from past traumas, as well as realizing her growing feelings for this man. As the novel escalates, Aries needs to find comfort in her own skin and not to live in the past, as well as differ good from evil.
