Few names strike fear into the hearts of those in the criminal underground, like that of Bloody Mary. She's cold, calculating and ruthless, without a care in the world, save for the current hunt for a shady ex-lover who tried to have her removed from the game permanently. Her only equal? Another one that she still harbors a small flame for. The top assassin in the fabled Brotherhood of Shadows, known simply as Takeshi. Their individual loyalties took them to separate parts of the world and severed their bond in the process. With another suitor vying for her attention, can severed ties be mended? When Mary's pursuit for revenge leads to a trail of powder kegs, allies old and new emerge to join the fight. New loves are ignited, but old flames never truly stopped burning. Lines are blurred and loyalties are tested. Now, Mary must decide: Who is truly on her side? The Ballad of Bloody Mary is created by Mina Ramey, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
