Description
Chasing calamity, dark and unruly, perfecting the art of an undetectable midnight slaughter ... introducing, the Wolfe family. Rising above the elite, cunning and refined, perfecting the art of self established royalty ... introducing, the Luxton family. The infamous Wolfe family is known for two things: their vicious and unparalleled skill at assassinations ... and their vicious and unparalleled hatred for the Luxton family, the city's wealthiest citizens by standards that reach halfway around the globe. The history between these two families is decades long and no force on earth could convince a Wolfe to trust a Luxton ... until a man that both families value is found dead. It may have been considered an unfortunate accident, if it were not for the unexplainable mysteries surrounding his death - a ransacked room, devious suspects, and a considerable motive that suggests this was no ordinary death. It was murder. Thus brings together these rivaling powerhouses in the most unexpected way. In one corner is Valencia Wolfe, a young mercenary with a proud killing streak and the expectations of her family's reputation on her shoulders. In the other corner is Bellerose Luxton, the heir to his father's empire and Val's next victim. But a contract to kill becomes a contract of protection when this rich boy convinces his killer to join him in proving a plot of betrayal. What unfolds next is a battle of wits, winner collects untold riches of the world's greatest hidden treasure and loser gets the grave. Now it is up to these two unlikely allies to navigate tropes of danger, secret societies, snobby rich kids, timeless adventure that combines past forbidden love with present, and ... buried treasure? Join the hunt of a lifetime and follow alongside the characters as they solve clues, chase murderers, fall in love, and risk their lives for fame. And if YOU choose to seek this fortune, begin by answering this simple question ... Can you solve my riddle?
