****

Dragged from her home after the murder of her entire family, six-year-old Emily Spencer is thrown into a world she must learn to navigate or die.

With a new name, a new family, and a new beginning, Emily Spencer becomes Victoria Townsend. Beloved daughter of the Director of the criminal organization known as The Family.

As the memories of her old life fade, Victoria learns to survive her torturous home life by becoming a skilled mercenary. Leading the Townsend protection racket, she strikes out on her own and heads to England, leaving behind a wicked stepmother, an emotionally distant father, and a not so brotherly sibling.

Victoria hopes to escape the clutches of The Family are dashed when she receives word that an important man in her life is dead. Returning to the Townsend compound in Nova Scotia, Victoria must overcome enemies, hunt for traitors, and catch a possible murderer; all while trying to protect the one person she loves.

Will Victoria be pulled back into the depths of deceit and powerlessness of a life she had no choice but to live? Will The Family crumble and take her down with it?
