Summary

Abandoned as a child. Raised by loan sharks. And eventually shunned by her mentor. Underground debt-collector, Alene, finds herself being pushed out of the familiar world of schemes and illegal trade deals, and thrown into a world unknown to her: the world outside the confined walls of her Mother's lawless hierarchy. Left to fend for herself, Alene must ultimately face her inner demons on her journey from a corrupt past and exploited childhood. And she must confront her biggest challenge yet: the real world.

Prologue


On the ferry dock a bitter autumn afternoon, a little girl is sitting on the pier.

She is wearing little more than rags, and in her hand is a teddy bear.


The girl is waiting. The girl is longing.


A faint whistling behind her makes her turn, in hopes of a faith restored.

But only a strange sense of darkness lingers before her as a distant thunder roar.


The girl waits. The girl longs,

until finally, alone and forlorn, she no longer sees a reason to fear.


The girl stretches her hand out to meet the darkness,

as she waves goodbye to the bear on the pier.
