She stopped counting. But the past didn't stop hunting her.
Xinli buried her guns. She planted a garden. She spent three years learning to be human again-drinking jasmine tea at sunrise, holding a woman's hand in the dark, pretending the number didn't follow her to bed every night.
Then the fire came.
Her garden burned. The woman she loved died on the kitchen floor. And Xinli remembered exactly who she was.
A killer. A ghost. A woman with 3,930 bodies in her past.
Now she's hunting again. Not for justice. Not for closure. For revenge.
The trail leads to Bangkok, where a man named Zhao is rebuilding the White Lotus-the organization that murdered her family. But Zhao isn't working alone. Someone else is waiting in the shadows. Someone who knows her face. Someone who shares her blood.
Her sister. Mei.
Raised by the enemy. Trained to kill. Pointed directly at Xinli.
The Reckoning is the explosive second book in the Revenge of Xinli trilogy-a relentless story of violence, sisterhood, and the impossible choice between revenge and redemption.
The number grows. The bodies pile up. And the counting...
The counting might finally stop.
Perfect for fans of: Kill Bill, John Wick, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Atomic Blonde.

"Visceral, unflinching, and surprisingly tender in the spaces between bullets."

"Xinli is a heroine you won't forget-and a killer you won't want to cross."
