She lost her entire family, he destroyed his. Now the battle for redemption begins.

What vagrant violinist Staletta Burns wants most is to find her missing brothers, but the streets of London are cold and unforgiving and the moon hanging over the dark waters of the Thames can't tell her where they are. So, she trades her last few coins for a pain-numbing drink…and wakes up to find herself in jail.

Rescued by the sole witness to her unjust imprisonment, Daniel May attempts to help her turn her life around by getting her a job at Bobs & Co Manufactory. But she would rather play her violin for the patrons of London's mangiest pubs, than work at the factory where Smitherton Bobs reigns god-like over his workers. And Bobs is a crow from her past, a man that will kill her, the white chimp that destroyed his family.
