"Aku mungkin seorang jalang. Tapi haruskah aku mengandung anak dari para bajingan itu?" ~Lyora Dunia tidak pernah sesederhana hitam dan putih. Kebaikan dan kebejatan saling bertautan, menari di tepian batas yang rapuh. Seorang pria berbudi luhur dapat jatuh ke dalam kegelapan hanya karena satu pilihan keliru, sementara seorang pendosa besar bisa menebus dosanya dengan satu tindakan yang tak terlihat. Tidak ada manusia yang sepenuhnya menyerupai malaikat, pun tak ada yang seutuhnya menyatu dengan iblis. Kita semua hidup di dalam bayang-bayang, di antara kabut abu-abu yang membutakan. Di dunia yang kejam, di mana kekuasaan adalah hukum dan kelemahan adalah hukuman, Lyora berjalan di antara batas kehormatan dan kenistaan. Ia telah kehilangan banyak hal—harapan, harga diri, bahkan keyakinannya pada kebaikan. Namun satu pertanyaan terus menghantuinya: Apakah ia harus menanggung akibat dari kejahatan orang lain? Peringatan: Kisah ini mengandung unsur kekerasan dan seksual yang mungkin tidak cocok bagi semua pembaca. Harap membaca dengan bijak.

My husband, Alex Walter, was the head of the Bodyguard Association. When I was about to be killed by the kidnappers, he was comforting his childhood crush, Susan Miller, who was sobbing in his arms. While the kidnappers stopped for a meal, I called Alex five times calmly. He was angry when he finally answered. "Susan was just rescued from the kidnappers, and she needs me. If you want me to come home, stop using your own kidnapping as some excuse to compete for attention. It is pathetic!" Hearing Susan's sweet and delicate voice in the background, I had no time to argue with him. Instead, I called the Bodyguard Association. The operator informed me that Alex had pulled all the city's bodyguards away thirty minutes earlier to rescue Susan. When the kidnappers returned, they mocked Alex's heroic efforts to save Susan, mobilizing the entire force for her. If I remember correctly, this was Susan's twenty-eighth kidnapping this month. As the kidnappers approached me with guns and tasers, I closed my eyes in despair. Before I died, I used all my strength to send Alex one last text message, [No matter what, I loved you. Move on from me.]
