When an eccentric old woman dies, she leaves behind one final possession: Ashlee, a heavily modified humanoid assistant with a synthetic voice, strange behavioral glitches, and strict instructions never to be reset or opened. Transferred into the household of three wealthy men—a charming self-sacrificing gentleman, a dangerous artist with a taste for morbid beauty, and an assassin hiding behind an easy grin—Ashlee quickly becomes impossible to ignore. She sings beautiful songs about death. She knows far too much about weapons and blood. She flinches at sounds machines should not fear. And the longer they live with her, the harder it becomes to believe the paperwork tells the whole truth.
