In the heart of the Empire of Glass, where every whisper echoes louder than a scream, lies a tale of love, revenge, and the ultimate game of power. Assassins lurk in the shadows, their blades thirsty for blood, but amidst the chaos, one rises above the rest, driven by a singular purpose: to settle the score.
Meet the Assassin, a figure shrouded in mystery and legend, whose skill knows no equal. Tasked with a mission that could shatter kingdoms, he walks a treacherous path, haunted by his past and fuelled by the desires.
Opposing him stands the Princess, a beacon of light in a world veiled in darkness. Raised to be a Queen, she holds a secret that could cost her everything: a forbidden love that defies the laws of the Empire. With every breath, she risks exposure, but for the sake of her beloved, she will stop at nothing to protect him.
Caught in the crossfire is the Chessmaster, a master manipulator with a heart set on fire. Armed with the power to control souls like pawns on a chessboard, he orchestrates a deadly game of love and vengeance, where every move could mean life or death.
As their paths intertwine and destinies collide, the Empire of Glass trembles on the brink of war. In a battle for love and power, who will emerge victorious, and who will be left to pick up the shattered pieces of their broken hearts?
In "Undead Prince," the stakes are high, the intrigue is intense, and the only certainty is that in the game of thrones and hearts, no one is safe. Brace yourself for a journey into a world where betrayal lurks around every corner and where the echo of a single choice can change the fate of an empire.
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong?

Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander.
It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head.
Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you.
Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.
