Six years ago Abigail Grey escaped from brutal captivity, along
with eight other teenage girls, at the hands of Baron Alistair
Rigby of Highgate, a man who knew well how to guard himself with
the secrets he collected on the wealthy and powerful in the
Sanctum. In the years since her escape she's lived a life of quiet
retreat with Oliver Grey, the doctor who counseled her after the
traumatic events of Rigby's farm and who later adopted her as his
daughter. Though still haunted by memories of the farm, Abigail
manages to carve out a simple life for herself in the countryside.
All this changes when Abigail is informed that Doctor Grey has been
murdered while in the city on business. Due to his social standing
in the Sanctum, Abigail finds herself invited by the Queen herself
to come to the Capital City, the beating cosmopolitan heart of this
closed matriarchal society. Now, despite her own fears and social
doubts, Abigail sets out with determination to find her father's
killer. It's a perilous journey that will take her right into the
turning cogs of the Sanctum's most powerful and dangerous political
circles. It is a world filled with shifting allegiances and deadly
secrets, where legalized assassination serves as a replacement for
open war between the Ladies who lead the royal houses of the
Sanctum. The closer Abigail comes to tracking down her father's
killer the clearer it becomes that someone is pursuing her as well.
As she races against the clock, coming face to face with her own
worst fears and nightmares, one question continues to haunt
Abigail, Is she the hunter...or the prey?
