Summary
Delilah Morgan is a forensic pathologist working for the DPGC, beginning the autopsy of the latest victim of the serial killer known as the Reaper, the man who has been terrorizing Gotham city, when she is attacked by him.
It was that night that she encountered true fear ── death itself and its faithful companion ── and survived to tell the tale. Now, she recognized the rot of humanity, as broken as she was, and in a way, identified with it. There was a rooted evil there, rooted in her, something that cried out for justice and needed freedom as much as their corrupted souls could bear, yet something blocked her mind.
In the quest to uncover the true identity of the Reaper and put an end to the series of extended murders, Morgan finds an unlikely ally in billionaire Bruce Wayne. Both are obsessed with the case, both are willing to do anything to reach the end of the investigation, and both would risk everything they had for it.
And that's what brought them together.

Summary
Delilah Akhman never planned to raise a child. Least of all in Gotham. Least of all with Bruce Wayne.
A former acrobat — stubborn, practical, and with an inconvenient habit of running toward danger — Delilah spent her life avoiding roots. Until the ground gave way beneath her. When John and Mary Grayson fell to their deaths in front of an entire audience, she lost more than friends: she lost the only place she still called home. And Dick, their son, lost everything.
Bruce Wayne was there that night. Not to watch, but to be seen. To donate. To keep up appearances. What he didn’t expect was to see in that boy a reflection of his own past — or that adopting him would be just the beginning of the problem. Because Dick already had someone. Someone who called him “little bird.” Someone who knew how to quiet his demons without even trying.
Delilah didn’t want anything more than to stay close to him. Just that. Just... everything. And maybe out of impulse — or guilt — Bruce made her an offer: stay. In the manor. In Dick’s life. And, unknowingly, in his own.
She only promised to take care of the boy. No one said anything about the broken man that came with him.

Summary
In the past, Bruce first saw her at an opera. She was in the audience. He was in the shadows. That’s how it began. And maybe that’s how it will all end: with him in the shadows, and her trying to uncover a secret that was never meant to be buried.
Bruce Wayne is dead. Except… maybe he isn’t. And Delilah may not be as ready to let him go as she once believed.
