Lucy has spent her life helping others from a small home beside a church in Cartone, visited occasionally by parents she knew as tradespeople. Then a man named Arvan arrives at her door with news: her parents have been assassinated. More shocking still — they were never merchants. They were the heads of the Ragor family, the largest mafia organization in the region. Before Lucy can even begin to grieve, other visitors arrive, knowing that the daughter of the dead bosses holds a key to something no one is willing to describe clearly. The war for whatever she is carrying begins without her permission.
