Emily Brelin's parents were murdered. Her only friend is dead. She's being hunted. Will her secrets get her killed, or will they be the key to her survival?

Three years ago, teen assassin Emily Brelin escaped the rogue general who'd trained her. She fled across the globe to Golden City, New York, where she met a professor who offered a new home, a new identity, and a new start.

The professor guarded Emily's secrets, until cancer intervened. At the deathbed, Emily vowed to fulfill the professor's desperate last request. And now she's racing to keep her promise--but the general is hunting Emily, and her cover is unraveling.



Detective Victoria Tacket believes adopting a teen with a dangerous past might be the only way to save her, but she has to find the missing girl first.

Detective Vick Tacket is shocked when she learns her best friend has died. She's even more stunned when she learns her friend had a hidden dependent and named Vick--a single woman with no maternal interest--as the girl's guardian.

Convinced she'd be a terrible mother, Vick plans to decline guardianship, until the mysterious teen disappears. Vick scours the streets of Golden City searching for Emily--but what she discovers threatens both their lives.



Out of the Shadows jump starts a fast-paced 7-book adventure.
