action-adventure assassin dystopian foundfamily friendship sciencefiction youngadult

In a world of assassins, there is a city divided into two circles. The Low Circle, known more commonly as Silicen, is the home of the Assassins' Guild, a powerful underworld organization that holds influence over both circles from the shadows. The High Circle, or Hana, is the home of opulent architecture and expensive knives used to stab others in the back.

When the Guild forms a team of the elite for an assassination of a powerful Hana politician, the tenuous relationship between the two circles is threatened.

A child prodigy who has only ever been told that he is a weapon. A former high-ranking assassin who managed to escape once but came back for reasons unknown. A poisons expert who will do anything to protect his siblings. A technological genius who keeps his cards to his chest under a veil of sarcasm and humor. A femme fatale who wants nothing more than to reunite with her sister. An exiled Hana assassin who wants nothing to do with the Guild, but still takes their orders.

A group of six killers try to navigate politics, friendship, and betrayal-- with quite a few murders along the way.All Rights Reserved

𝑨 𝑴𝒂𝒅 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝟏/𝟑) by TheStarfella

The Ordinary Hour by king_king07

Matsuda Kenji was an ordinary man. At least, that's what the world saw. A slightly overweight, glasses-wearing convenience store owner, he spent his days restocking shelves, chatting with regulars, and preparing bento boxes for his nine-year-old daughter, Hana. The locals knew him as kind, quiet, and dependable-a man who had settled into the rhythms of a peaceful, unremarkable life. But peace was an illusion. A decade ago, Kenji was known by a different name: Timekeeper, the deadliest operative of Hourglass, a clandestine organization that manipulated global events from the shadows. His missions were executed with mechanical precision-every target eliminated within exactly one hour. No more. No less. Then he vanished, leaving behind a world of bloodshed to build something real: a family, a life free of violence. That fragile normalcy shatters the night Takashi Ryusei stumbles into Kenji's convenience store, bleeding and desperate, clutching an object that should never have existed-The Minutehand, a device containing the identities of every Hourglass operative still in play. Kenji knows what this means. They will come for it. They will come for the boy. And if they learn who he really is... They will come for him, too. For ten years, he has pretended to be ordinary. But there are no ordinary hours left. Because when the clock starts ticking, Timekeeper does not miss.

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ 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. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

*~*Completed*~* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Each one of us has a role,"Asher says, "Beau is the leader, the smooth talker that gets us the deals.
