Adelaide Quinn Daughtler, known as the "Phantom Empress". She was a powerful leader of the Cronos Union, a feared group of assassins. She thought she died when she encountered one of her team who betrayed the Organization during her mission but she woke to an unknown place and lived there quietly. 

Here, she becomes Mallory Guillerma, or Lory, a simple flower shop owner's adopted daughter who loves growing and arranging flowers. Her new life is calm and happy, just like the flowers she cares for.

But, this peace is broken when a series of strange killings happen in the town. Lory's past seems to catch up with her when the next target is revealed to be Police Officer Callum Ridley, her first love, and the only man who has ever seen beyond her modest facade to the deadly thorns beneath.

But how will she face everything if the root cause of all these events is her former organization. Can she protect her loved ones and keep her new identity intact, or will the thorns of her past prove too difficult to hide?
