Calois Greenway used to be an assassin known as the Thousand-Yard Arrow, but now he lives day to day as a hunter. His quiet and monotonous life is disturbed one day by two women, one of which claims to be Marina von Alschwert, the princess of the Kingdom of Alschwert.
Marina knows about Calois's past and wants him to work for her as a bodyguard. As it turns out, she's on the run, and she needs to get out of the kingdom before assassins can take her life. Calois takes the job, but it may end up being more troublesome than he realizes...

Of Ruin And Ravenous Things ✓
Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she ever had the chance to choose herself. At eighteen, she stands ankle-deep in the aftermath of a life erased-everyone she has ever loved reduced to silence and ruin around her. From that blood-soaked silence, she rises carrying something no mortal was ever meant to inherit: dominion over death itself. One touch ends a life. One thought bends annihilation to her will. And deep inside her, something dark has finally awakened... and it is starving. Her power does not go unnoticed. The Banes come first-nightmare-born creatures drawn to her like vultures to a dying world, desperate to claim the weapon she has become. As civilization fractures and reality begins to rot at the edges, Seraphine is forced to flee into something far worse than the world she left behind. Death's Castle. An ancient, shifting labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that has ever screamed within them. There, in the cold shadow of eternity, she finds she is not alone. A diviner who reads fate as it unravels thread by thread. A war-vampire, addicted to bloodshed as much as battle. And a brute whose silence hides a loyalty strong enough to crack bone. Together, they form an uneasy alliance-bound not by trust, but by survival. But Seraphine's awakening is only the beginning. As buried truths about her bloodline rise to the surface, she discovers a legacy stitched from both darkness and light-something older than kingdoms, older than gods, older even than death itself. And in the void beyond all things... something has been waiting for her.Complete

Deicide: Death's Chosen Assassin
Kael Drayven grew up in the shadows of an orphanage that was anything but ordinary. Trained from a young age to kill with precision and intellect, he became the ultimate weapon-cold, calculating, and deadly. But Kael wasn't content to be a pawn in someone else's game. At just 18, he masterminded the destruction of the very place that shaped him, erasing his past in a blaze of fire and blood. For two years, he roamed free, a ghost in the underworld, his body riddled with scars and his mind sharper than ever. But even the smartest and deadliest aren't invincible. At 20, Kael succumbed to the wounds and exhaustion of a life lived on the edge. Death wasn't the end for him, though. In his final moments, Kael is confronted by a vengeful god who offers him a new purpose: become his chosen assassin and take down the twelve gods who betrayed him. In a new world brimming with magic and divine power, Kael's sharp mind and lethal skills make him the perfect weapon. But can a man who has only known betrayal and bloodshed find meaning in a god's quest for revenge? Or will he simply become another expendable piece in a cosmic game far bigger than himself?
