most powerful empires, Nevada Rayne Barrington is forced to admit her billions can't buy what she seeks the most. Left an orphan at the age of sixteen after her parents' unsolved kidnapping, she has callously run roughshod over her fellow man for the last twenty years.

After a brutal undercover mission goes south, she is forced to come crawling back to a god she has no use for. Broken and lost, she sends a desperate prayer skyward with a hastily uttered promise tied to its tail. Shedding her skin and abandoning all she knows, she embarks on a chaotic path fraught with danger, placing her squarely in the path of evil. On a collision course with love, she blindly follows her heart, allowing God's gift to lead her to the life she agonizes to have. Fighting to stay one step ahead of her assassins, she unleashes the full fury of God's gift. Adopting a scorched-earth policy, she protects the gift with ruthless vigor, laying waste to all that stand in her way.
