Daniel is a smart guy. He graduated high school early and has been supporting his little sister Emily since the death of their parents. When an old acquaintance of Daniel's father offers to hire him as a tutor for his five teenage daughters--triplets and twins--it's almost a dream come true. Even better, Daniel and Emily get to live in the mansion the sisters share, and their father is going on a year-long honeymoon with his new wife, leaving Daniel virtually alone with five beautiful girls. But these are no ordinary teenage girls. They've been trained since birth as warriors or assassins for some mysterious cause that no one will reveal to Daniel. As Daniel gets closer to the girls, he gets closer to their secret--until the secret comes to him, and it's far darker and more dangerous then he ever imagined.
