Fifteen-year-old Fanny Berk just wants to disappear. After a violent attack on her family, she retreats into silence, shadow, and karate—her armor against a world she no longer trusts. She trains relentlessly, stays under the radar, and keeps everyone out.

But when Fanny intervenes to stop a brutal act of bullying, everything changes.

That single moment of heroism draws her into a dangerous criminal underworld—where justice is risky, truth is slippery, and survival isn’t guaranteed.

As threats escalate, Fanny discovers she’s not as alone as she thinks. A misfit group of classmates—and a wildly loyal rescue dog—step up to stand by her side.

Together, they’ll face a storm of lies, danger, and impossible choices.
And Fanny will have to decide what kind of fighter she really wants to be.
