"We're all trained to be deadly, but we're just pawns in this game. We sit idly on our squares, preparing for our next move, blindly following orders, charging in to take out the opponent.

Raised in the shadows of the Institution, Cara Thane is a skilled assassin, trained in the vicious art of killing supernaturals, ones much like herself. Finding herself torn between what she knows and what she discovers, she becomes caught in a war, both sides struggling.
On one, repressed supernaturals, fighting for freedom and rebelling against the Institution. And on the other, her family, and those who trained and raised her, making her who she is. The rebels are alien to her, ruled by forbidden emotions and dreams. Trapped in the desperate clutches of battle, she plays a bigger role than she ever could have imagined.
