A literary high-concept sci-fi tragi-comedy by the author of "The Miniature Wife," about a plot to overthrow a powerful underground organization as foretold by a mystical prophecy, in a world beset by dark, unseen forces. The Regional Office - and its coterie of super powered female assassins protect the globe from annihilation. A prophecy suggests that someone from inside might bring about its downfall. Recruited by a defector from within, Rose is a young assassin leading the attack. Defending the Regional Office is Sarah, fiercely devoted to the organization that took her in as a young woman. On the day that the Regional Office is attacked, Rose and Sarah's stories will overlap, their lives collide, and the world as they know it just might end. Weaving in a brilliantly conceived mythology, fantastical magical powers, teenage crushes, and kinetic fight scenes, this is a seismically entertaining debut novel about revenge and allegiance and love.
