Her father murdered, her mother the victim of suicide, she has no one left to turn to when all seems lost except her best friend Thryis.When Drea is adopted as a ward by the influential House Syphen, it seems the storm might've passed. But her problems have only just begun, for she and Thryis soon discover that House Syphen is a den of dark sorcerers.Drea enters a cauldron of intrigue, one that pits her and Thryis against the darkest secrets hidden within Drith itself-mages, secret societies, and a magic-wielding gunslinger known only as Lady Blackveil, who may have answers to her family's downfall.The bullets fly and the blades are quick, as Drea Kalder begins to piece together what's happened to her. And soon, she seeks something that no woman in Drith has ever sought before: Control.Drea has only one code left to live by. The code of her once-great House: Kalder does not bend.
