Preface

The Magpie is a rumor and a legend. Cold. Ruthless. The best freelance criminal in the city's underworld. But when a simple job leads to a dead mark, a toddler, and a secret, the Magpie is forced into a domestic life and a choice - run, or stay, and sacrifice everything to save the ones he loves.

A story of a lost and broken monster, a tough but traumatized little girl, and a curious man who hides behind his beautiful smile. A story of love, found family, self-discovery, and second chances.
