Lilith Deianira escaped her abusers at fifteen by becoming something worse: an unstoppable weapon. Now twenty-six, she's the underground's most feared assassin-The Reaper of Men.
When her best friend Stella, as well as Stella's sister, vanish, Lilith uncovers a trafficking ring far larger and more dangerous than anything she's faced. But she's not alone.
Death himself has been watching her from the shadows since her very first kill. First with contempt at the chaos she created for him, then curiosity... and now, something far more dangerous.
As their paths intertwine in blood and shadow, Lilith must face not just the monsters of the world-but the one thing she's never dared to feel: love.
But even Death has secrets and his own affection for the assassin may be just as deadly as the monsters Lilith hunts. And saving the people she loves may cost Lilith more than her life.

Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything.
