Fall of the Phoenix

---

 Here’s what I can tell you about me:
1. I’m a homicide detective.
2. I’m a hitwoman.
3. I’m the last Phoenix in existence.

Or so I thought…

My life is simple. Solve crime as a Chicago homicide detective. Murder the targets my boss gives me. Simple. I live a life of solitude and loneliness, being the only creature of my kind. I grew up with an adoptive family, never knowing my parents. Never understanding how I came to exist. Years and years of searching have put me no closer to the answers I so desperately need.

That is until my newest murder case brings me face-to-face with a woman whose eyes match my own and my newest target leads me to the answers I’ve sought my entire life. My simple life will become a tangled weave that threatens to strangle me. For once, I’ll be forced to pick a side — the enemy or my family. My actual family. My only question is, will I survive the raging battle between the two? 

 My life used to be simple, but not anymore. Not since Adrian Alexander blew it up. Everything I thought I knew was a lie. The man who paid me to murder for him only wanted power. Power my family holds. A family and a pair I chose over doing his bidding.

Every choice has a consequence.

Salvatore Danarius put a bullet through my chest when he realized I was no longer on his side. Now he’s my target. It’s a race against time to find my former puppeteer and new enemies rising against us. Adrian and I will both have to confront our pasts before we crumble under the weight of who we were.

A fight for control is at our doorstep. The bodies piling up around the world. My only question is, will we survive the destruction a paranormal war brings?
