Born in the shadows, Vionne de Corbeaux grew up believing she was an orphan of an unsolved murder. The night her mother was killed, she was only 7—hidden behind the door, hearing the muted gunshots that shattered the life of her mother, Vionne's world turned black as she faced the culprit's dead eyes as her mother's blood stained the sheets of the bed.
Raised under the false record in Paris, Vionne spent her teenage years haunted by fragments of memory—the raven sigil in her mother's necklace given to her prior to the tragic night and the phrase carved in it saying, "Balance must be restored." While other girls dreamed of freedom, Vionne learned surveillance, weapons, and languages—quietly building the skills of the predator she didn't yet know she was.
When she turns eighteen, a trail of encrypted files and underground rumors leads her to a name long erased from police records—and to a world where syndicates, cartels, and Yakuza clans bend to the will of one invisible council: Nortem Ordo.
And there, hidden among their names, is the name of the person who murdered her mother.
As Vionne uncovers the truth, she faces a brutal choice—kill the person who destroyed her bloodline, or inherit the ancient seat of her ancestors and become what she was born to be:
The Raven of Balance—judge, executioner, and heir to the night itself.
But in a world where assassins answer to no one, vengeance may cost her the last piece of her humanity.
