Timber Narissara and the crew of the Warrior Sea Sailor have been sold into the clutches of cannibalistic human traffickers, trapped in the lawless expanse between Vakmite and Ulnac. Meanwhile, Timber, a deadly assassin, has received a series of covert assignments from a former professor, all centered around the treacherous regions of Ulnac and Saleansian. But as she carries out these missions, she receives an unexpected revelation-she has been told to open her heart and allow herself to feel connected with others, to forge friendships, and to embrace love for the first time in her life.
As Timber confronts this newfound vulnerability, she faces a series of perilous questions: Will she and her crew escape the horrors of their captivity? Can she navigate the complex world of betrayal and trust, without sacrificing her lethal skills? Will she complete her dangerous missions, all while struggling to reconcile her emotional awakening with her deadly profession? Or will her inner conflict push her back into isolation, sealing her fate-and that of those she cares about-in a tragic end?
The clock is ticking. Will Timber adapt before it’s too late? Or will her walls, seemingly impenetrable, become the very thing that destroys her?
