The E Apocrypha

In a harsh world where survivors live off the scraps of the fallen civilization, Yun-mi had worked her ass off for two years, honing her scavenger skills. She is on the cusp of fulfilling her dreams of becoming the finest Rat the City has seen. Yun-mi's plans crumble when her mentor is murdered, and she is about to be sold to slavers. In the no-holds-barred game, she's got only one rule: not to give up, and woe to those facing a cornered Rat. Navigating alone between major powers, arrogant clans, and fake friends, she may lack knowledge and finesse, but has determination to spare.

They’ve messed with the wrong woman. Aileen’s got a city to run—its shady part, in any case. Abducted and whisked away from Locksville, she refuses to be a pawn in powerful players’ games. She most definitely is not a damsel in distress and needs no freakin knights in shining armor to come to her rescue. Alas, her best-laid escape plans misfire, landing her in even hotter waters far away from home. Aileen must find her footing in an unfamiliar, unforgiving society, fighting tooth and nail to survive.
