Shade handles dirty deeds for a high society clientele, and she
loves her family. When the man who rescued and raised her disappears while
investigating the deaths of old colleagues, Shade pulls in her brother and his
team of mercenaries to unravel the mystery. When the two pseudo-siblings join forces, they
represent a deadly force of annihilation aimed at anyone or anything that
stands in their way.
More
than one shadow-player is manipulating the game, and each of them has a very
different agenda. At every turn, Shade and her brother confront the one common
denominator: another assassin with a reputation as black as Shade’s who isn’t
above using any method to get the job done, including a carefully orchestrated
seduction.
Wading through political intrigue, deception, and vendetta, Shade
finds herself pitted against her ultimate enemy and discovers she was
deliberately maneuvered into play by a master manipulator.
