Bel Serpico is used to spilling blood and guts for a living, when you're born into the most famous clan of Assassins in history maiming and torture is par for the course. But when Bel is captured by the Redgrave military and cast into one of their dungeons and left with only the bugs and vermin for company they assume that karma has finally come to claim what's due. But in a twisted turn of fate it's not her execution they want but her unique skill set, they want to hire her as an attendant and body guard to the Marquis only daughter Lydia Redgrave. Bel's been in peril countless times before but pretending to be a maid to a snobby rich girl really wasn't something she was made for.
