Ravenna grew up in the slums of Brooklyn and was adopted by a retired veteran. She enlisted at age eighteen and, after rescuing the president and his wife during a terrorist attack, earned the nation’s trust, eventually becoming a secret presidential special forces operative who developed high-tech weapons in the desert. One day, a detective sent by her mother tracked her down to take her back to the East Coast to join a top political and financial dynasty. Awaiting her there were the jealousy of the family’s adopted daughter, internal power struggles, and a shocking conspiracy involving the nation’s highest echelons of power.
