Storyline:
They trained her for control... Now she moves only for vengeance.
Rooney, a young assassin honed within the Ruska Roma, is disciplined, elegant — and deadly.
But when her father is brutally killed under suspicious orders, she breaks away from the ballet of obedience, stepping into the underworld alone to find answers — and vengeance.
As bodies fall and secrets unravel, Rooney must outwit elite killers, betray powerful allies, and confront the system that made her — while dancing ever closer to the truth that might destroy her.
Her blade is silent.
Her purpose, thunderous.
