"I’m not going to kill you, Kierra. I’m going to break you. Piece by piece your humanity will fall apart and all you’ll have is the pain and knowledge that you are mine to do with as I please. There’s no-one that can help you down here, you are completely on your own."
Kierra Anne Zalet is not your regular teenager. Her life has been a struggle from a very young age. Kidnapped at one, escaped at six, framed for murder at thirteen, killed her first bad guy at fourteen, kidnapped, tortured, then stabbed at fifteen. Kaz, as she prefers to go by, is looking for a normal life but life has other plans. She now goes to school, running club and gym... but those men look strangely familiar and her past comes back to haunt her. She doesn't want to kill anymore, she doesn't want to hurt anymore. Can she stand by while criminals walk the streets around her? Can Priestley, the man who protects her, keep her from killing anyone else and forfeiting the freedom they have worked so hard to get? And who is Mr Clim, the teacher who keeps asking too many questions?
