THE VICTIM

Lauren Blakely is dead. PX-28 stands in her place.

Taken by the New Order as a child, Lauren has been forced to become one of the world’s most deadly assassins. Only she was never deadly; she barely fought at all. Most of the time, she hid behind her assigned partner, PX-3 — otherwise known as Darlia.

Lauren has two rules: play the victim and don’t die. Anything beyond that is a step above.

But the New Order wants a killer, not a victim, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to break her into one.

Enzo King has nothing left to lose. The New Order kidnapped his brother, and he’ll go to any lengths to get him back — even joining the people he despises most.

Falling for the girl he’s supposed to break was never part of the plan.

But nothing goes according to plan.
