She ventures into the muddy underbelly of the city and purchases a scarred, half-blind fighter for five thousand dollars to humiliate her family.
To her shock, a primal soul mark forms on her skin by dawn, followed by the sudden arrival of frantic aristocratic uncles. Her disposable brute is actually the abducted heir to an eight-hundred-million-dollar dynasty, and she intends to slaughter every corrupt relative who mutilated him.
