Sylvie, once the ace assassin of the revolutionary army, was tamed and abused by a general as a "mad dog." While on the run, she was taken in by a priest, but betrayal led to a massacre in the church and the priest's brutal death. She rescued the young Benny, using her body and her skills in killing to forge him into a lethal weapon. Over the next ten years, their bond deepened from master and apprentice, to master and slave, to soulmates—together, they hunted down the general and his political backers. In the end, Benny died shielding her; Sylvie alone stormed the enemy's stronghold, slew her nemesis, then carried his corpse to the shore and cut her own throat, joining him in death.
