Manhattan
has
many
secrets.
Some
are
older
than
the
city
itself.
The
city
sleeps.
Selene
DiSilva
walks
her
dog
along
the
banks
of
the
Hudson.
She
is
alone
--
just
the
way
she
likes
it.
She
doesn't
believe
in
friends,
and
she
doesn't
speak
to
her
family.
Most
of
them
are
simply
too
dangerous.
In the predawn calm, Selene finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns. And so does the memory of a promise she made long ago -- when her name was Artemis.
