About the story

Valeria Anson used to be one half of a whole.

She and her brother shared everything: clothes, toys, even a birthday. But that changed when a masked man murdered their mother, a memory her twin doesn’t share.

Nearly a decade has passed. While her father and brother have long given up, Valeria can’t stop searching for the culprit. Her secret investigation leads her to the infamous hitman Alias Black—her last hope.

Lying to her family by day and hunting with Alias Black by night, Valeria walks the fine line between justice and revenge. Just how far will she go to catch her mother’s killer?
