MariAnne Blakely kills for a living; doing the unthinkable almost daily, watching as the lifeblood pours out of her victims all the while running from the past that she thought she’d left behind long ago. Unable to bear the painful memories, she joins the infamous mob, “The Faceless Ones” who kill their victims in the name of justice. Hating the person that she has become, MariAnne considers quitting but before she can a commission from Viscount Palmerston derails her plans and forces her to take one last mission.
 
It is 1855 and the Crimean war has been dragging on for longer than anyone first thought, and the British need to stay a one step ahead of the Russians if they are to win this war rooted in reasons greater than religious ones. Hired to go undercover as a Russian orderly and learn the secrets of the Russian Army, MariAnne knows that this is her last chance to prove to herself that she is not the monster that she thinks she is.
 
Haunted by a past of his own, Corporal Dante Kooper wonders when he will find solace from the nightmares that haunt his dreams, and finally break free from the guilt that has chained him to a past he’d never thought he would have to come to terms with. Ordered to accompany MariAnne on her mission for the crown he opens his fragile heart to the green-eyed beauty whose scars go deeper than the skin.

Together they face an enemy greater than the one they were sent to watch…. themselves.
