After the brutal murder of her parents, a young girl named Seraphina Vale is sent to an orphanage, where she is subjected to years of abuse and suffering. As a gifted ability user, her parents once protected her from the dark world, but now, alone and broken, she channels her pain into a dangerous power. By the time she turns 14, Seraphina has mastered manipulation and cold vengeance, using her abilities to kill the woman who tormented her and escape the orphanage. Now, at 22, Seraphina is feared as a cold, detached force-her once vibrant humanity long since buried beneath layers of trauma and rage. Leaving behind a trail of dead bodies and cryptic notes, she operates with ruthless precision, her motives a mystery to all but herself. But her existence has caught the attention of a determined detective, Lucian Grey, whose unique abilities and sharp intellect make him the perfect person to track her down. Lucian, quiet, methodical, and observant, isn't easily swayed by emotions, his autism giving him an uncanny ability to read situations with precise logic. As he follows the girl's cryptic trail, he begins to unravel the dark, twisted story behind her-and a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. As Seraphina and Lucian's paths inevitably cross, only one question remains: will he expose her humanity, or will he fall victim to the darkness she's become?
