This is a dual timeline book. Half is told when Aninyeh was a child. Half is told as Nena is an adult and an assassin. When she was a child, her family was murdered and she was trafficked. The story when she was a child is brutal and a bit disturbing but the author seemed to make pains to handle it with sensitivity. It is important because it made her the strong woman she became. But when her past comes back to haunt her and all she is trying to make for herself, Nena must decide who is worth saving and how far she will go to save those she loves.
