Gemma Summers is broke, burnt out, and about three weeks from moving back in with her parents.

Every citizen in the realm knows Witches are the favored Faction. That's why a Witch occupies the throne, and why the laws of the Eternal City grant Witches far more than their fair share. And if any of the other Factions take issue with that? They're likely to meet a swift death at the hands of the fabled Queen's Blades, the four assassins vowed to protect the Queen and the realm.
