Evander "Nox" Carver is a mercenary who thrives in the shadows, a master of espionage, sabotage, and survival. He works for the highest bidder-no questions, no loyalties, no loose ends. But when a routine mission goes sideways, Nox finds himself caught in a deadly game orchestrated by someone who knows his darkest secrets.
Vivianne Vaughn is a cybersecurity expert working for one of the most secretive government agencies in the world. Her job is to eliminate digital threats before they become national catastrophes. But when one of her investigations points to Nox, she's tasked with bringing him down-a dangerous mission that puts her face-to-face with the elusive mercenary.
What begins as a pursuit of justice becomes a reluctant partnership when both Nox and Vivianne discover they've been manipulated by a shared enemy: a shadowy figure from Nox's past who's pulling strings on a global scale. Forced to work together, they must navigate a maze of betrayals, cyber warfare, and conspiracies that blur the line between right and wrong.
As danger closes in, Vivianne struggles to reconcile her growing feelings for the man she's sworn to stop, while Nox grapples with a chance at redemption he never thought he deserved. In a world where loyalty is a risk and trust is a weapon, they'll have to decide whether they can save each other-or destroy everything in the process.
Fast-paced and filled with suspense, The Nox Code is a thrilling enemies-to-lovers story of betrayal, redemption, and the fight to uncover the truth in a world built on lies.

And, since she's been on her own for the past five years, it's her only chance at survival. But Nyx's life in the shadows is jeopardized when she is visited by Victor, the enigmatic leader of the criminal underworld. Somehow, he discovered that she is the faceless Shadow Thief, Itoria's most wanted criminal. If he reveals her identity, she'll be hanged. Victor strikes a deal with Nyx. He'll give her more gold than she knows what to do with in exchange for the shadow of Itoria's Silver Prince, thus nicknamed for his fickle nature and careless wealth. Nyx readily agrees, as this may be the last shadow she ever has to steal. And, considering the Silver Prince's rotten reputation, Itoria can only improve with him out of the way. In order to take the prince's shadow, Nyx must uncover his greatest fear and confront him with it. She infiltrates the castle, where she discovers that nothing in Itoria is as it seems, including the prince himself. Stuck under his dying father's thumb, the Silver Prince has little freedom-but his selfish, callow nature might be hiding a golden heart.
