Meredith is the ruthless leader of the Blackvales underground syndicate—decisive and cold-hearted toward everyone. Yet she voluntarily adopts a young girl named Lily. Long before, Meredith’s beloved Lillian left her to marry a man and have Lily. When Lily turns eight, her mother passes away suddenly. Her father’s business collapses, and he owes heavy debts to another group, The Graves Estate. To settle the debt, he sends Lily to Meredith.
