Ember Craven is a young girl raised by a single mother in a rough neighborhood in New York. To help make ends meet, she becomes entangled with a local gang, using her fists as the gang’s collector and her MMA training to participate in illegal fight rings, to pay the bills. When tragedy strikes, Ember’s world is turned upside down. She leaves behind the gang and fight cages for a life of wealth and luxury with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Canada. While grieving, Ember tries to change her life around and become a regular teenager in the sleepy town of Whitsborough. She experiences the ups and downs of being the new kid at school and makes friends that will last a lifetime. Only fate has other plans, and just when she thinks her life is perfect, the rug is pulled out from under her. Both worlds collide and Ember finds out that Whitsborough isn’t as pristine as it seems and her past is about to make an appearance in a devastating way. No secret stays buried forever, and Ember Craven is about to unearth one that will change her life forever.
As Ember descends deeper into the dark and depraved void inside her, she continues to grapple with the shock of finding out about siblings she never knew existed. While her mother struggled to raise her as a single parent, she also kept a lot of secrets. Along with her grief, Ember buries her feelings under a mask of indifference as she tries to move on, hoping the blood staining her hands one day fades. Killing her father was her final act of revenge for the murder of her best friend, Tommy, but the nightmares plague her. As they become more frequent, she begins to lust for another kill. So starts her journey into the world of becoming a hired hitman, a job she’s hoping will satiate the bloodlust and provide her with the chance to pretend life is normal to the people around her. Ember joins the Head Corp, a company her father owned, and begins to accept contracts to kill the scum of New York. With Vin by her side, they uncover a new enemy, one a little too close to home. Ember is facing more tragic losses as she spirals once again into family secrets. When the seedy underbelly of Whitsborough is uncovered, she vows, once and for all, to rid her town of the rot that consumes it.
Travis Greene has lived most of his life shrouded in fear and shadows. Fear of a father’s wrath, a mother’s disdain, and a coach’s attention. Love and intimacy came hand in hand with pain and disappointment, but he hid all of it deep inside the shadows of his damaged heart. Adrianna Hinton was the one bright light in his pitiful childhood, the sunshine to his cloudy days. She stood by him, endured his moods, until one terrible day when his life took a tragic turn. He pushed her away, felt like he didn’t deserve her love, and has been suffering the consequences ever since. Then Ember Craven forced her way into his life and heart, giving him the chance to have a real family, one that loves unconditionally. His heart began to heal, sealing up old wounds, and he found himself opening up to the idea of true love. But how do you choose between two people whose souls seem threaded together? Is it possible to have more than one soulmate? Emmett Torres and Adrianna Hinton are willing to give him the world, but each of them provides something different. When life throws Travis one last curveball, all of his newly formed bonds are tested. He hits rock bottom and sees no way to claw his way up from the pit he finds himself in. Just when he thinks he couldn’t sink any lower, he realizes… There’s always worse.
Ember embraces her new persona, The Black Slaughter, and is ready to purge the small town of Whitsborough of its rotten core. With Vin, Emmett, Travis, and Adri by her side, they will work together to flush out the malignant growths within their town’s borders, even if it leaves a trail of blood in their wake. No one is safe, and nothing will come between Ember and her mission. Not even centuries-old secrets they unearth along the way. As Ember ticks off each name on her list, she uncovers a dark picture painted by the wealthy and prestigious founding families, and at the top of the list is hers. Money talks, immorality is masked by power, and Ember finds herself caught in a world where her resilience is often tested. After being pushed too far, she succumbs to her inner villain, and no one is safe from her blade, no matter how much money they have. Allies are masked enemies, and family becomes foe, and it’s up to Ember to decide if redemption is possible.
