She executes the guilty without mercy — until she's ordered to kill an innocent

Safiya has spent twelve years as an executioner for a shadow organization that targets the guilty—murderers, traffickers, tyrants who slip through justice systems. She has a code: absolute proof of guilt before the blade falls. She respects strength, discipline, unwavering conviction. She respects people who don't flinch. But when she's ordered to execute someone she knows is innocent, something in her fractures. For the first time, she questions the hand that pays her. For the first time, she considers refusing. And that terrifies her more than any enemy ever could.
