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 the 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, she gets a chance to redeem her family name. Enter Markos Leon, a high-ranking member of a vigilante organization called "The Order of Scales", led by an enigma named Vincent Heron. Their mission: save Solaria from corruption. Things, while rough, appear to improve for Trixie in her new role. But when a mission goes wrong, she finds herself separated from the Order and in the crosshairs of a powerful criminal organization and a corrupt government agency, and soon the Order itself. Luckily, she has a former mobster, a parole officer, a radio host, and a casino owner to help her out in her mission to save Solaria. (Second Edition of The Vigilante Chronicles: Book One: Vigilance)
