❝𝒌𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒊.❞ (to the most beautiful) ━━━━━━━━━━ 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 A mass mission to send the Titaness, Tethys, back to the deepest depths of the Underworld had been a great success except for the reality that Iva Laurent would not be able to celebrate with the rest. Closing her eyes and reopening them, she ended up in a foreign place with an all-familiar face of Sebastian Langton. He was her first love - the one she had spent all her heart grieving over and over again - but he was supposed to be dead. Something's definitely peculiar about his reappearance that made Iva question the actual happenings on the mass missions five years ago. The deeper she dug, the more she would learn about the hidden truths behind everything, including the disappearances of all the assassins. When the equation slowly matched up and the truth unveiled itself, Iva also came to know of the masked identity of Jaxen Evrard. Seems like the simple days are long gone and what are the stakes in playing all these dangerous games?

A Study in Scarlet is a 1887 detective novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1886, the story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become two of the most famous characters in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, an amateur detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."

Sold to the black market by her only relative left on this earth, she was later bought at a high price by a mysterious man named Harod. He promised her shelter, food and family.
