Ten years ago, Faye Malisorn walked away from the Family to pursue a new life as a doctor in the US, determined never to return. With a stable job and an uneventful, if monotonous, routine, she built a new identity as an unremarkable, law-abiding citizen.
Just as her carefully crafted new life starts unraveling, an emergency forces her back home.
New foes, different rules, a lot has changed in the streets of Bangkok in the last ten years, and she fully intends to stay as far away from it as possible.
However, an unexpected rescue mission puts her on the path of the Lertprasert heir, the most respected assassin organization of the city, and unveils a conspiracy that threatens not only the Family but also the delicate balance of power in the streets.
Faye must decide whether to confront the truth about herself and embrace the shadows she's been running from, or continue living a lie, risking a war that could consume everything-and everyone-she holds dear.
