Wren wants nothing more to do with violence. But for her community - human and otherwise - to survive, it's time for the Cosa to take the battle to the real enemy. But they'll do it her way. Fast, smart, and sneaky.

What was lost will be found, what was stolen will be Retrieved. And this war will be ended, once and for all.

Wren Valere always finishes the job. Always.
