Summary
Chapter 0 Minutes before the midnight lights-out, I sat on the bench of a city-wide televised trial and overturned a “husband-slaying” case, delivering a verdict of not guilty. My husband sat in the gallery-the one man in this city who wanted me to shut up more than anyone else. Everyone thought I’d lost my mind, but only I knew that if I had waited even one more minute, my sister would have remained just another cog in the machine: a submissive, clockwork wife serving this city.
