Imagine waking up with blood on your hands-literally. The kitchen floor stained crimson, a dead man at your feet, and the terrifying realization that you've just killed one of the wealthiest, most untouchable men alive. This is how we meet Callypso Lillis, a young woman whose desperate act of self-defense against her abusive stepfather sets her on an extraordinary path. With trembling hands, she summons the mysterious Bargainer using a business card with peculiar instructions. When he appears-stunning, with white-blond hair and gleaming silver eyes-he asks only one question: "Did he deserve it?" Her tearful nod is enough. The Bargainer helps her, claiming it's his "pro bono case for the century," and disappears with the body, leaving Callie alone but free.
