But when her next mission targets the boy who once made her believe in forever - Nico Vellari, heir to a rival empire - Elara is forced to confront a past she thought was long dead. Now tangled in a web of betrayal, blood, and unfinished love, she must play a game where trust is poison, hearts are weapons, and survival is never guaranteed.
In a world where enemies wear familiar faces and nothing is what it seems, Elara must choose: follow the path carved in vengeance... or break the rules and rewrite her fate.
Love was never part of the plan. But neither was war.
