Rule Number 1: A good assassin should research their target before deciding to accept a mission, and if one should choose to accept, said assassin should remember what they had researched while carrying out the mission. Rule Number 2: If an assassin is to go undercover in order to get close to the target, it is extremely important that said assassin does not become emotionally attached to the target. Such actions could jeopardize and destroy the mission beyond repair. Rule Number 3: Flee quickly after eliminating the target. Don't get caught. ︻デ═一 Anastasia Petrov had never had a harder mission. She wasn't used to having to go undercover. She had always had deadlines, of course, but they were never this extreme. How was she supposed to obtain the prince's trust, and then kill him in just two weeks? How was she supposed to get away with it, especially since she never seemed to have a chance to be alone with him? On top of it all, the agency had just introduced a new hand book that all agents had to follow, even the most trivial of rules, or else be reported and suspended by her supervisor, overseeing her mission: an annoying, rude, know-it-all who is supposed to make sure she succeeds, but is instead sure that she will fail. The rule that tended to be the hardest to follow, Rule Number 2, was even more difficult, considering how attractive and polite the prince appears. How are Anastasia's 17 year old eyes supposed to just overlook his beautiful eyes and charming smile? Oh, dear.

On The Edge of a Blade

Things aren't going too well in the kingdom of Gushénn. The very oasis it's built upon is drying up, the border conflicts with the savages are becoming worse, and the royal family is starting to fall apart. And, to make matters worse, an elite group of anarchists has joined forces to kill King Vincent and steal his throne. Against her will, the infamous assassin Alister finds herself in the thick of things. She trained for her entire life to become the perfect human weapon, able to kill a man a dozen ways without batting an eye. The entire life that she's built for herself starts to crumble, however, as she's blackmailed into banding with the anarchists. But Rose Alister isn't as immoral as she seems. Even as an angel of death, she still finds that there are limits to what she is willing to do for money. Because of that, her loyalty and support for Prince James--the king's unappreciated and unstable younger son--become her greatest hindrance and her most crippling dilemma. For the first time in her life, she cannot bring herself to kill without remorse. As the anarchy plot within the kingdom thickens, assassin and prince come together. It's up to them to decide whether the kingdom is worth saving, even as they are forced to determine if they can first save themselves. Faced with a multitude of conflicts, Rose and James must put pride aside and learn to work together. But how can two clashing personalities hope to join forces and fix themselves, let alone mend a crumbling kingdom? (Disclaimer: "On The Edge of a Blade" addresses heavy themes. There is light profanity and references to some topics that are inappropriate for younger audiences. Please be aware of that while reading, though it shouldn't reach past a PG-13 rating. The most common justification for such a rating will be violence.) Cover Credits: @Owelz_The_Only
