-Elswyth
Lilyth has spent her entire life preparing for one thing-becoming one of the elite supernatural assassins known as the Nightsworn. Trained in shadowcraft, weaponry, and the arcane arts, she is destined to be a hunter of creatures that lurk beyond the veil of human perception. But while her peers focus on their trials and ranks, Lilyth's mind is elsewhere-haunted by the disappearance of her father, a legendary assassin who vanished without a trace.
When whispers of a rogue supernatural force surface-one with ties to her father's last mission-Lilyth risks everything to uncover the truth. What she finds is far more terrifying than she ever imagined: a conspiracy stretching deep into the roots of the order itself. As she navigates a deadly game of secrets, betrayals, and hidden enemies, she realizes that not all monsters are born in the dark-some are made by the very institution that trained her.
With danger closing in from all sides, Lilyth must decide who she can trust. The enigmatic rival who always seems one step ahead? The mysterious informant with knowledge too dangerous to ignore? Or the forbidden attraction she never saw coming? As the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, she must embrace the darkness within herself to stand a chance against an enemy that defies all rules.
But the deeper she goes, the more she begins to wonder-was her father the hunter... or the prey? And if she follows his path, will she survive where he did not?
