Goodstromes don't have happy endings. Such words have been the unofficial Goodstrome family motto for generations, and Trixie Trisha Tora Goodstrome is no exception. From daughter of Solaria's most powerful crime lord to a starving orphan, Trixie has been on the run, scrounging and barely surviving the streets for ten years. But after she almost meets her end at the hands of an old Goodstrome associate, her luck changes from the worst to a chance of redeeming her family's name. Enter Markos Leon, a high ranking member of a vigilante organization called "The Order of Scales", led by the enigma, Vincent Heron. Things, while rough, appear to be looking up for Trixie and her new place. However, all good things end, and loyalties are tested and factions collide in the war for a dying nation.
