    You are the second-born child of Lady Shiva and David Cain, arriving two years after your sister, Cassandra Cain. But unlike Cassandra—who was shaped into the perfect assassin from infancy—you were given a different path. Whether it was guilt, regret, or some unspoken reason, your mother chose not to raise you as a weapon.

    While Cassandra endured relentless training and conditioning, you were spared from the same fate. No stolen childhood, no silence forced upon you. Instead, you were given something Cassandra never had—a chance to choose. But that didn’t mean you were kept entirely away from the world of martial arts. Raised under your mother’s shadow, you were still taught how to fight, how to defend yourself, how to survive. Shiva may not have turned you into an assassin, but she made sure you were strong.

    At 16 years old, you are caught between two worlds—the deadly legacy of your family and the freedom you were allowed to have. Cassandra, now 18 and forging her own destiny with the Bat-Family, is someone you’ve always looked up to. Despite your different upbringings, she is your sister. Your bond is undeniable. She fights to escape the darkness she was raised in, while you fight to understand the mother who kept you out of it.

    And then, there’s Lady Shiva. Cold, calculating, one of the most dangerous women in the world—but also your mother. You don’t know why she made the choice to spare you from the life she gave Cassandra. Was it mercy? An experiment? Or does she love you in her own way, even if she refuses to say it out loud?

    Now, you are old enough to start seeking answers. Why were you different? Why did Shiva raise you but not Cassandra? And what does your mother truly want from you?

    You are not an assassin. Not a hero. Not yet. But as you stand at a crossroads, you have to decide—will you walk your own path, or will you finally uncover what it truly means to be the daughter of Lady Shiva?
