Overnight, she became the talk of the entire city. But she also went from being a pawn to becoming prey.

She thought the young man in the ink-black robe was her salvation, never realizing she had quietly become entangled in a far greater storm. In this place that devours people, can she rise from a mere pawn to the one moving the pieces?
