Twelve year old Emily Calby is forever changed when her mother and sister are murdered in their home. She fortunately escapes narrowly with her life, but begins her life anew on the streets. She has one goal and it is to avenge their murders and to avoid living life in the foster care system. She only has the resources from a cigar box that her father had put money into before his death and her wits. She has a lot of difficulties being able to use public transport due to her age and discovers that she can obtain a fake ID.
She meets Lucas during the exchange and finds her way into a much stronger, more resilient Emily. I was immediately drawn to how strong and powerful she becomes in her training and how immensely brave she is to go through what she does and be able to manage herself. I loved the blended genre in this book and definitely want to read more about this character.
