Master Assassin

They say assassins are the most dangerous people in the world.

Forged through relentless physical and mental conditioning, assassins are stripped of everything that makes them human. Remorse is trained out of them. Mercy is beaten away. Emotion is reduced to a tool-something to mimic, manipulate, and discard when no longer useful. They can smile convincingly, speak kindly, and earn trust with terrifying precision, all while feeling nothing at all.

The Aeldari Warlocks once described them as the closest thing this world has to pure evil.

Ebony was raised to become one of them.

But when the orders of her family demanded more than she could give, Ebony did the unthinkable-she ran. She vanished into hiding, knowing there was no forgiveness for defiance, no mercy for betrayal.

For the first time in her life, she found something she was never trained to survive: care, love, and happiness.

And now, with her past closing in and her secrets threatening the lives of those she holds dear, Ebony must face a choice she was never taught how to make.

Would she risk her own life to protect the people who taught her how to feel-or abandon them to escape the perils of the world she left behind?
