Eye Of The Hawk

Hi. I'm Marissa Sanlier. Up until a few days ago, I was a twenty-year-old girl living with my great, great... maybe a few more greats... aunt in Pennsylvania. She died... mysteriously... and left me everything. Her fortune, her corporation, and this huge estate.

But she also left me a note. That note led me to secrets that dated back thousands... tens of thousands of years and laid to rest the question of where we came from, why we were here, and who made us this way.

I stumbled onto an ancestry of assassins dedicated to seeing the innocents remain free, and ensuring the plots of secret societies hidden in the shadows never come to pass. Secret societies that always existed, clouded in conspiracy theories, but whose history dates back to the birth of mankind!

My great aunt trained me from a toddler to one day take her place... unknown to me... and I was now supposed to simply accept her role as guardian?

The choice is clear.

I could fade into a privileged lifestyle, ignore the genetic enhancements passed on to me by dead parents, and watch the world fall slowly into chaos, slavery, and total subjugation by those working in the shadows.

Or I could take up the mantle of my ancestors and become...

The Hawk!
