Description written by @Jagrakisser

The brutal and enigmatic dragon hitman Striker faces her most dangerous and morally complex mission yet. Known for her ruthless efficiency and unique Dragon Breath-an element that nullifies all magic and elemental power-Striker has made a name for herself in the shadowy underworld of dragonkind. Her skills are unparalleled, but her next contract could alter the course of her life forever.

When Striker is hired to assassinate Dream, the tyrannical queen of the dragons, she realizes that to infiltrate Dream's impenetrable kingdom, she will need substantial resources. This leads her to accept increasingly perilous contracts, hunting down fellow dragons to fund her entry into the heart of the queen's domain. Each dragon she kills brings her closer to her goal, but also further from the remnants of her own soul.

Amid her ruthless pursuit, Striker takes a rare break from her grim duties and encounters Vanity, the charismatic prince of the dragons. To her surprise, she finds herself drawn to him, feeling emotions she thought long extinguished. Vanity represents a stark contrast to the darkness she lives in-a beacon of light and hope. However, Striker's burgeoning feelings are complicated by her secretive life as a hitman and her looming mission to assassinate the queen.

Fearful that Vanity would despise her if he discovered her true nature, Striker hides the truth about her profession and her deadly plans. As their relationship deepens, Striker is torn between her growing affection for Vanity and her deadly mission. The weight of her decisions grows heavier as she grapples with the possibility of a future that might be forever tainted by betrayal and bloodshed. Will she fess up, or leave him with shattered trust?

Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond.
