Victoria of Many Faces

Chloe spent years as an elite operative trained in disguise, forgery, combat, and every skill needed to become someone else. When she leaves the organization that shaped her, she puts those talents toward a single mission of her own: disappearing. Under the new name Victoria, she reaches the Kingdom of Ashberry and tries to build the quiet civilian life she has never been allowed to have. Her plans change when she finds Nonna, a young girl abandoned by her mother, and chooses to take her in. Jeffrey, the principled captain of the kingdom’s Second Knights, agrees to act as Victoria’s guarantor. All three carry wounds from their pasts, but their cautious connection begins to resemble a family. Victoria can invent any identity in an instant; learning to trust this new life, while her old one refuses to stay buried, is much harder.
