Demiathra was never meant to survive. Raised in the shadows of a ruthless city, she fought her way from the edge of death to become SHADOW's most legendary assassin. Feared by enemies. Respected by gods. Loved by the last people she expected-especially a certain goddess of love.
Years have passed since her war-torn story found peace, but peace doesn't last forever. As threats begin to rise from within the very walls that once protected her, Demiathra finds herself caught between the life she built... and the life she thought she left behind.
With danger closing in and her dual worlds colliding, Demiathra must fight not just to protect what she loves, but to prove that kindness is not weakness, and that even the sharpest blade can choose who it cuts.
