    Summary

    Working as a stripper in Zaun is not where Caitlyn thought she'd end up, but after her whole life imploded a year ago, she's happy to be employed at all. Meanwhile, Vi has gotten herself mixed up with a particularly bad crime lord who's not letting her loose until she does one last job for him.

    Conveniently, the estranged daughter of the topsiders that Vi's targeting this time happens to work at her local strip club.

    Summary

    But here and now, her infatuation and endless ire with the woman next to her would only widen, growing to swallow her whole. Her mother seals their fate with a stern, decided gaze. Her mother clears her throat, her cup of tea already half drank in front of her before she speaks.

     

    “In light of yesterday, and with the threat of Noxus looming over us, I’ve decided to appoint Ser Violet to be your sworn protector. Wherever you go, she goes.”

     

    The finality in her tone steals the air from Caitlyn’s lungs. She can feel Vi stiffen next to her, her breathing an increment heavier. Caitlyn dares a side-long glance, anger dancing on the tip of her tongue, and is stunned to see Vi already staring at her, open and almost wild."

    Summary

    On the road, VI can’t stop looking at Caitlyn. Her thoughts are a roaring mix of affection, guilt, curiosity, hunger. When was the last time she felt like this? Has she ever?
    What is confounding Vi the most is that Caitlyn still hasn’t asked for anything, nothing concrete. Nothing, anyway, that could give Vi any guidance on how to proceed.
    What does one do, when they desire someone without any other kind of strings attached? Without the need to hide away, be quick not to get caught, be rough to not be seen as weak? Is she simply allowed to take and be taken? What if it breaks her? What if it breaks both of them?

    ***
    Caitlyn is out of options- the only chance she has of avenging her mother is by partnering with Vi, the sister of her mother's killer, convicted in her place ten years prior. Together, they set out through the country on a desperate search, with the Chembarons on their tail.
    Caitlyn is struggling with her grief and her guilt, Vi has to learn how to live. The road will either save them, or swallow them whole.
    A roadtrip noir, a romcom, a character study. Now illustrated!
