Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed.

Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.All Rights Reserved

"The Heart Of Eden". Assassin's creed love story. by Blueswritting

"A story about a young woman who owns an art shop in a city called Republic City, a place where everyone can learn about the history of the world and live peacefully. However, the war between Assassins and Templars is still ongoing. When the power of Eden transports the main Assassins and Templars to this era, they must adapt to their new environment. What will happen when both sides fall for the same girl? Find out when you read this book." Side note: I've never watched or played the newer Assassin's Creed games in my opinion I don't find them that interesting I'm sorry for those who like Bayek, Basim, Alexios, and Evior, however, I am interested in getting around to watching the gameplay of Origins and Mirage because I do like Bayek and Basim. But I just don't know them as much as I do with the OG Assassins. As always All credits goes to the original creators.

The Emperor's Edge 3: Deadly Games by LindsayBuroker

When you’ve been accused of kidnapping an emperor, and every enforcer in the city wants your head, it’s hard to prove yourself an honorable person and even harder to earn an imperial pardon. That doesn’t keep Amaranthe Lokdon and her team of outlaws from trying. When athletes start disappearing from the Imperial Games, they may finally have an opportunity to show the emperor that they’re on his side. If she and her comrades can get to the bottom of such a public mystery, they’re sure to get the credit. But plans go awry when Amaranthe’s own men start plotting against each other, the new ally she’d hoped to acquire tries to turn her in, and her best fighter—and closest friend—disappears. Maybe getting involved wasn’t such a good idea after all… Deadly Games is the third book in The Emperor's Edge series.

Dual Eclipse by Kernia_

Dual Eclipse 4th installment in the Mikhailov Bratva series. Start Date: February 18th 2024. End Date: October 28th 2024. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Victoria I had nothing to do with these people-those with lifeless eyes, those that held their heads high with a gun strapped to their waists and vials of cocaine deep in dirty pockets, waiting on their next prey. They had no lives and ruined everything, like tearing my sister and me apart, taking my parents' lives and finally stealing the light from my own eyes. Ruined-dead is what I am. I have no purpose; no one can fix that except the devil, who forces me to trust him. He is no different but worse than these men, and I've made a dreadful mistake because I hate them all. I used him, and now he is taking me to the pit of hell with him, and I won't stop him. Alexandr Darkness was engraved into my bones when they formed in my mother's womb. There's no such thing as light in my life because I was born a killer. I know nothing out of this world and pay for it when the dead visit. I shouldn't have felt anger so strong when I saw the reflection of a woman I thought of ruining. Then, feeling her skin on mine had burned me hotter than any sin I had committed. I couldn't stay away, and in the end, I helped, held and killed for her. Victoria thinks she can stay away from me-she's wrong. I'll always be in the shadows, showing her how much of my darkness she possesses.
