(BOOK 2)
Some people search for truth in books. Caius Storm Virehart Blackthorne hunts it in the dark.
To the world, Caius is just another university student studying Philosophy-sharp-tongued, intelligent, and impossible to ignore. He spends his days inside classrooms, debating morality and meaning. But when the city sleeps, he steps into a far deadlier reality as a harbinger of the Solstice Covenant, an organization built on secrecy, power, and ruthless precision.
Rules have always kept him alive. Never hesitate. Never get attached. Never lose control.
Then one reckless night, Caius breaks them all.
A failed mission forces him into the arms of a stranger-a girl he kisses only to escape the enemy closing in behind him. He expects to never see her again. Instead, she appears the very next morning in the seat beside his. Calm. Beautiful. Unreadable.
At the same time, an old power returns. The Creator, the man whose name commands fear, comes back with Caius's twin sister and places a new assignment in his hands: uncover the missing heiress of a Russian mafia empire, stolen as an infant and hidden for years.
What should have been a simple search turns into something far more dangerous when every clue begins pointing closer to the girl in his classroom.
Now Caius stands between two worlds-one that raised him to be a weapon, and one that makes him want to be human. But in lives built on lies, desire can be fatal... and falling in love may be the one mistake he cannot survive.
