A short story by Nikki McCormack
Shai is a girl with nothing in a world run by men. Her parents are gone. She has no future to look forward to. Only her brother keeps her safe, but even he isn't willing to stand up to Kurth, the leader of their little band. Not when it comes to keeping Kurth's hands of off her and not now, when he should be disputing the older boy's plans to involve them all in a dangerous heist.
Shai believes the heist will go terribly wrong. When it does, she is the one to pay the price. Only this time, what promised to be a tragic end gives Shai the strength and freedom she needs to turn the tables on Kurth, but she may have to abandon her humanity to do so.
