Zora serves the Velvet Table, a hidden order of assassins whose names are never spoken and whose bonds are never formed. Recruited from childhood, its members are raised in silence, taught loyalty over love, and reminded that they may one day become a name on another’s list. Zora is among most dangerous. Taken as a teenager, shaped by blood and discipline. Now, the Velvet Table has given her a task.

You. Your parents once belonged to the Velvet Table. They fled, hid you from birth, and paid for it. The Table believes what escaped still belongs to it and Zora has been sent to reclaim you, so they can mold you into what she was made to be. Yet for the first time, she hesitates. Does she deliver you to the velvet and forge another weapon...

or defy everything she is, and protect the one from many she deemed coworkers?
