She wasn't born cold ... life made her that way. Sierra was just sixteen when everything changed. One tragedy shattered her peace—and exposed the truth about how cruel the world could be. The city didn't give her time to grieve. It forced her to grow teeth. Fast. Pulled into a life she never asked for, Sierra learns that loyalty don’t come free, love don’t come easy, and survival don’t come soft. What starts as pain becomes purpose. And what the streets take, she’s ready to take back tenfold. This is her origin story. And trust—by the time it’s over, she ain’t the same.
