A friend's betrayal locks her in a factory for a crime lord's collection.
The protagonist joins her friend on a Chicago visit to the friend's boyfriend, expecting a brief stay. Instead, the drive stretches past the city limits to a deserted factory where the friend vanishes. The boyfriend then shoves the protagonist into a locked room and coldly reveals she has been sold for twenty thousand dollars. Black-suited enforcers bearing silver pins — dark thorns crossed by an inverted dagger — take control, identifying the operation as belonging to Caleb Richardson, the New York mafia don. She endures three years of captivity before a narrow escape, only to find herself delivered back into his custody.
