34 parts Ongoing MatureBorn without empathy, Elara was considered a monster long before the real ones invaded Earth.
Now, in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by beasts, her lack of fear has made her the perfect assassin. She kills without remorse, surviving in the ruins where humans are nothing more than cattle.
Her latest contract promises a fortune: kill a mysterious recluse living in the Spire. But the target, Valerius, isn't human. He is an 800-year-old vampire who is faster, stronger, and infinitely more bored than she is.
When Elara fails to assassinate him, Valerius spares her life with a twisted counter-offer. He doesn't want to fight; he wants to die. He hires Elara to find a way to bypass his immortality and end his centuries of stagnation.
Elara accepts the job, but as she searches for a way to destroy the vampire, she finds herself battling a new, unfamiliar emotion. In a world defined by death, the most dangerous risk she can take is falling in love with the man she was hired to kill.
