They called her Hollow because she had nothing left to break.
Raised in Milan's criminal underworld, Benedetta Salviati learned to survive by erasing herself-her voice, her softness, her heart. She became the perfect daughter. The perfect weapon.
Then she is sent to The Arkanum, a brutal academy where assassins are sculpted from bone and ambition, and where every student bleeds for a place at the top.
But Hollow isn't prepared for the one thing this place teaches best:
how to feel.
Not when Arden Voss, sharp-eyed and infuriating, keeps tearing her walls open with a touch, a glance, a challenge.
In a world where love is a weakness and trust is suicide, Hollow must choose what she's willing to lose-her life, her loyalty, or the heart she swore she didn't have.
