Under his mentorship, she trains in the arts of survival, thievery, and murder, all while nurturing a bond with her shadowy companion, Mister Kindly.

Driven by vengeance, Mia seeks entry into the Red Church, a notorious school for assassins. Here, she faces brutal trials designed to test her skills in steel, poison, and the subtle arts. As she competes against fellow acolytes, including the enigmatic Tric, Mia uncovers dark secrets within the Church's walls and confronts the bloody truths of her past. The narrative unfolds with a slow-burn intensity, weaving suspense and dark magic into a tale of revenge and self-discovery.
