I've lived a hard life, been forced to rely on myself for everything. I keep my secrets, even from those I love. I hold them at arms' length for their protection.

It's one thing for my friends with benefits to find out that their mild-mannered gal pal is a camgirl.

I can't let them learn my biggest secret. They can't know about my late night dealings or the job that's made me wealthy enough to buy the whole city if I want.

No one can know that I'm hunting down monsters, or that I've become one myself.

It's a lonely life, but what can I do? Until recently, I've been the queen of balance and have kept my two lives separate.

Then a mysterious offer turns things upside down, and everything is chaos.

Once I've admitted my feelings for my best friends, my secret threatens to tear us apart. If they ever learn that I caused their tragedy, I'll lose them forever.
