Whether she realizes it or not, 13 year old Kali wants to get back to the life her adoptive parents saved her from: helping take care of other abandoned children of prostitutes.
Unfortunately, her parents are the rulers of an empire falling part at the seams. Once the syndicate officer who used to own her finds out where she is, he sees her as an easy pawn in a power play he's been waiting years to act on.
The Characters:
Kali is a 13 year old girl who wakes up to find herself kidnapped and drugged. The drugs jumble her memory, making it difficult to figure out who’s telling her the truth and who’s trying to manipulate her.

Bo Kosh is the right hand man of the crime lord Karlis Dak Tain. He sees the chaos all over the world that resulted from the Cloud Fade as a huge opportunity to gain power. With his help, Karlis was able to take control of an entire city and bring it to viable order. He’s become restless, however, as Karlis has become more scrupulous in his later years.
