At four years old, Octavia Hope Moretti was sold to the Russians. Four years later, they sent her back-trained, scarred, and invisible to a mother too high and a stepfather too drunk to care.
By fifteen, she was leading her own family: the Hopeless Creed-Ruin, her cold and protective father who will kill without question a traitor but also will kill anyone who touches his kids; Vex, her brother in blood and closest partner; and Lark, the child the Russians raised to kill and they saved . Together, they're a whisper of fear in the underworld, emotionless to outsiders, unshakably loyal within.
When her mother and stepfather die in a drunken crash, Octavia is forced back into the Moretti empire-a father and seven brothers who never stopped searching.
They expect the happy, loving child they once knew
but that child is long buried

Beneath the silent sky
No one knows her name. No one dares ask. They only speak of the eyes-two different colors, rare and chilling. A mark of death. Of vengeance. A whisper in the underworld: "She doesn't miss. She doesn't hesitate. She doesn't feel." She walks alone through Moscow's back alleys, blood on her boots, the faintest scent of smoke trailing her long black coat. She'd slit a man's throat two minutes ago. Didn't blink. Didn't speak. Just turned and vanished. She's nineteen. But the world thinks she's a myth. And maybe she is. Maybe something broke inside her when she was five years old. When the Russians took her. When they burned her home into memory and carved out the little girl who used to sing lullabies on her grandfather's lap. Now? Now she dreams in flashes. A golden sun. A woman's perfume. Laughter in Italian. Five shadows taller than her, arms wide open. Names, always at the edge of her tongue-but never there. She remembers their faces. And she remembers the man who stole her life. Viktor Ovalov. The Russian leader. The man who turned her into a weapon. He doesn't know she's coming. But she'll show him. She'll make him bleed for every scar he left on her skin. For every scream he buried in her throat. She presses a gloved hand to the glass window of an abandoned apartment. Her reflection stares back-impossibly beautiful, heartbreakingly cold. Eyes covered with dull brown lenses. She's ashamed of what makes her different. Even now, she hides the heterochromia behind colored contacts. Just one more mask to wear. But behind those eyes, behind the silence-she remembers. This isn't a story of sunshine and fairytales. Not a story where she just 'heals' and gets her sunshine personality back. No this is a story where she learns to live again and not just exist or survive. This isn't about healing, it's about living again, revenge and living through your pain.
