Lacrimosa: A Novel

Lila has no memory of who she is or how she ended up walking the streets of Manhattan alone in July of 2232. She only knows she is being hunted by day and haunted through the night by dreams of a man she can’t remember apart from when her subconscious self holds him at gunpoint. Still reeling from the death of his brother, Derek seeks justice. When he views footage incriminating Lila, the woman he’s come to care for perhaps too greatly, Derek knows something is very wrong. Derek’s sister Desi blames herself for Damian’s death, unable to forget how unkind she was to him at their last meeting and how she never repaid him for taking care of her after the death of their parents. In her guilt, she turns to Ravenna, a trained assassin and Damian’s fiancée, to ensure that Lila is brought to justice while Desi herself seeks comfort in her brothers’ business partner Eddie. Derek vows to find Lila before the police—and Ravenna, who is resolute that murder should be punished.
