"What happens if I say no?"
"You won't get to regret it for long."

Elise Halloway has never been in a situation like this, and she doubts there'd be a manual on how to make it through. Plucked off the streets and tossed into a world of subterfuge and hidden daggers, she is handed a role to play on a stage set for murder.

But even the best-laid plans can go awry. When all hell breaks loose, Elise is going to need all of her own skills to stay in character, and keep the curtains from falling too soon.

Beneath the silent sky by by_annelune
49 parts Ongoing Mature
No one knows her name. No one dares ask. They only speak of the eyes-two different colors, rare and chilling. A mark of death. Of vengeance. A whisper in the underworld: "She doesn't miss. She doesn't hesitate. She doesn't feel." She walks alone through Moscow's back alleys, blood on her boots, the faintest scent of smoke trailing her long black coat. She'd slit a man's throat two minutes ago. Didn't blink. Didn't speak. Just turned and vanished. She's nineteen. But the world thinks she's a myth. And maybe she is. Maybe something broke inside her when she was five years old. When the Russians took her. When they burned her home into memory and carved out the little girl who used to sing lullabies on her grandfather's lap. Now? Now she dreams in flashes. A golden sun. A woman's perfume. Laughter in Italian. Five shadows taller than her, arms wide open. Names, always at the edge of her tongue-but never there. She remembers their faces. And she remembers the man who stole her life. Viktor Ovalov. The Russian leader. The man who turned her into a weapon. He doesn't know she's coming. But she'll show him. She'll make him bleed for every scar he left on her skin. For every scream he buried in her throat. She presses a gloved hand to the glass window of an abandoned apartment. Her reflection stares back-impossibly beautiful, heartbreakingly cold. Eyes covered with dull brown lenses. She's ashamed of what makes her different. Even now, she hides the heterochromia behind colored contacts. Just one more mask to wear. But behind those eyes, behind the silence-she remembers. This isn't a story of sunshine and fairytales. Not a story where she just 'heals' and gets her sunshine personality back. No this is a story where she learns to live again and not just exist or survive. This isn't about healing, it's about living again, revenge and living through your pain. Tw:bittersweet ending Pictures are not mine. So the credit goes to their respective owners.

In a world ruled by men, she has learnt to survive by mastering two things: seduction and death. By day, she is the crown jewel of a high-class courtesan house-a dancer whose beauty captivates the most powerful men in the kingdom. By night, she is their worst nightmare, the country's deadliest assassin-swift, silent, and utterly unmatched. follows the double life of her-and whose deadly skills make her the most feared assassin no one can defeat. On the night of every full moon, she throws a single rose into the crowd-a test for any man daring enough to lock eyes with her and endure the dance. No one has ever survived the gaze... until now. An enigmatic stranger from the enemy kingdom arrives, cloaked in mystery, and meets her gaze without fear. Unfazed by the challenge that has broken the hearts and wills of many before him, he seems to know more than he should-and holds secrets darker than her own. As their world draws closer and closer, she must navigate the dangerous games of politics, war, and her own hidden identity. As tensions between them rise and hidden truths begin to unravel, she finds herself torn between her vow to never fall for a man-and the one man who sees her not as an object, but as a weapon, a woman, and a force of nature. But in a world built to break women like her, can she afford to open her heart without losing everything? In a world where trust is a luxury, and every step is a dangerous game, can she keep her sanity when she is faced with a man who breaks down every wall she has built around her?
