Serena Vale, the ruthless commander of the Nightfall Syndicate—the most feared assassin organization in Aurethia—finally annihilates their rival group, Obsidian Requiem. With their fall, she obtains the long-buried truth about her own identity and returns to Velencia City to reclaim her place in the Vale Dynasty.
She learns her parents are alive—and she has three overprotective brothers who practically worship their little sister. Serena once assumed the Vales were a modest family, only to discover the truth:
her grandfather and her mother's side, the Harrington Dominion, are among the most powerful forces in Aurethia.
Her parents only left the dynasty years ago to harden her brothers, not because they lacked influence.
Now that their precious daughter has returned, they refuse to let her suffer even a moment.
Afraid her true, brutal nature might scare her family, Serena decides to play the perfect lady at home.
By day, she wears soft dresses—gentle, sweet, obedient.
By night, she slips into combat gear—cold, merciless, eliminating every threat lurking around the Vale Dynasty.
Until Adrian Knight catches her.
The untouchable heir of the Knight Consortium—arrogant, sharp, and feared across Aurethia—finds himself unexpectedly fascinated by the girl who pretends to be a harmless bloom.
People can't understand why Adrian Knight would fall for her.
After all, aside from a beautiful face, what could Serena Vale possibly offer?
But when her true identity and power slowly surface, the world finally understands:
Adrian Knight was the one reaching far above his league.
