Damien, a boy with white hair, a gold eye, and a silver eye, grew up in an abusive home until he was nine years old. He was saved, his actual parents arrested, and was adopted by another family. He has a childhood friend, a girl named Scarlet Graylouse. Though Damien is cold, dismissive, and scarred, she loves him, more than a friend should. Damien only truly softens his tough exterior around his foster family, Scarlett, and her family. He used his pain and anger to make a name for himself in the world of soccer, regarded as one of the brightest youth talents in the world at the age of 16. He and Scarlett attend school together, both of them being sophomores in high school. Their school, Metro Heights, is smack dab in the middle of Las Angeles. Will he grow? Will he and Scarlett bond and become more than friends? Will he heal the dark scars of his past?
Amalia Hera-born Amalia Romano-was stolen at the age of three, torn from a life of privilege as the heir to a powerful mafia dynasty. Fourteen years later, her family finds her, but the girl they remember is gone. In her place stands Scarlett, the world's deadliest assassin, a shadow no one suspects-except for two people who know the truth.
Now, as Amalia navigates the dangerous world of the Romanos, she must face the family she doesn't trust, rebuild the broken bond with her twin sister, and protect the dark secret of who she's become. But in a world of loyalty and betrayal, will Amalia's hidden identity save her-or destroy her?

"You... you're Scarlett," he stammered, his voice barely more than a whisper. "They said... they said you were just a myth."
"Funny," I replied, slowly advancing on him, my dagger raised, "I thought the same about fear... until I saw it on the faces of men like you."
