Ren Clarke has survived experiments, betrayal, and a life written in someone else's blood.
Now? He manages a café.
Of course, this isn't your ordinary café-beneath the aroma of coffee and pastries lurks the Safe Haven Guild: a ragtag team of slayers, healers, and misfits who guard humanity from the monsters that stalk the dark.
To his guild, the ruling Council is cruel and oppressive. To Ren, they're just old men in robes who once raised him-and who still tolerate his sarcasm over tea.
When Ren is ordered to execute a dangerous young operative known only as 13, everything changes. Instead of killing her, he drags her into Safe Haven and names her AJ. She's cold, weaponized, and ready to die-until the guild teaches her how to live. But the Brotherhood that created both Ren and AJ hasn't forgotten them... and neither has the blood in Ren's veins.
Between sarcastic death threats that sound far too seductive, sugar-loaded "black" coffee, slipper-wielding mentors, and teammates who can't stay out of chaos-Ren must decide if Safe Haven is truly a family, or just another battlefield.
Because when you've been built to be a weapon, finding humanity may be the most dangerous mission of all.
