Pagkalipas ng apat na taong pagkukulong sa maliit na mundo niya, ipinasya ni Amber na piliting kalimutan ang mapait na karanasan sa buhay at makipagsapalaran sa Maynila para muling bumangon at tuparin ang kaniyang mga pangarap para sa kaniyang pamilya.

But nothing is simple in the dangerous world of wolf pack politics, especially when the Nightshade family faces its own power struggle.

"Tidak, jangan..." Wajahku tersipu, aku memakai penutup mata dan berbaring tengkurap di ranjang, sambil mengangkat bokongku tinggi-tinggi, membiarkan tukang pijat pria memijatku.

Pada malam pesta pertunanganku, aku mendapati sahabatku sedang memainkan permainan berbahaya dengan tunanganku. Aku menemukan mereka di kasino di kapal pesiar pribadi milik keluarga kami. Klara duduk di pangkuan tunanganku, Kafi, pewaris Keluarga Fadilla. Kafi memegang belati keluarga yang tajam, ujungnya mengait tali tipis gaun Klara. Mata pisaunya menelusuri sepanjang tulang selangkanya. Sedikit saja tekanan, kain sutra itu bisa robek. Pemandangan itu terlihat berbahaya sekaligus intim. Aku melangkah maju sambil mengerutkan kening, tetapi Kafi hanya mendengus. "Ini cuma permainan kecil buat meramaikan suasana, Tuan Putri. Nggak usah tegang begitu." Mata Klara menyipit, suaranya manis dibuat-buat. "Kami cuma main permainan tradisional keluarga. Permainan pisau. Kamu nggak keberatan, 'kan, say?" Aku hendak bicara, tetapi ekspresi Kafi mengeras. "Kita baru saja bertunangan dan kamu sudah mau mengatur aku?" Jadi aku tidak mengatakan apa-apa. Aku hanya menarik pistol buatanku dari sarung di pahaku. "Jadi ini permainan?" tanyaku. "Kalau begitu, kita main dengan taruhan sungguhan."
