Xavier lost his entire family in a massacre and spent a decade at a Taoist temple training for the day he could find out who ordered it. His master sends him down the mountain with one task: protect Whitney, a woman from the Wen family, without telling her why. He takes a job at her side and plays the quiet, harmless assistant.
Whitney's world is a nest of Wen family betrayals, and the An family circling from outside wants blood. Every threat aimed at her pulls Xavier closer to the people who destroyed his own household. He can keep hiding his skills and stay near her, or he can use them and announce to his family's killers that he is still breathing.
