Family Is His Only Weakness

Adam Lancelot's family was wiped out, and he comes back into the city to find out who did it. Before that he had put down the Divine Prison, where the worst criminals in the world are held, and the name that stuck to him there was Hades. Seven women who trained with him and rank above him as elder sisters stand at his back. Sylvia Quilter, the eldest, runs a corporation and keeps everyone at arm's length. Cher Lusk works inside the martial alliance as a strategist and tells nobody what she is doing. Frost Shelton flies international routes and knows people in airports everywhere. Rebecca Joyce is a doctor and heads her own private hospital. Yasmin Lewin livestreams and has a large audience for it. Fiona Sherman came out of an assassin network and does not discuss her past. Willow Lester acts in film and television and has won awards for both. Adam works through the underworld outfits in the city, using what he can do himself and the reach the seven give him, and he puts the men who go after them in their place. What he turns up along the way includes things about his own origins that he had not known.
