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.

ASSASSIN'S CREED: VICTORY
NO RULES, NO LIMITS, NO HIDING, NO RUNNING . . . In the heart of Victorian Italy, Samuel is no ordinary Assassin. Once bound by the ideals of the Brotherhood, he has shed the shackles of morality to embrace a darker path. As the city of Milan teeters on the brink of chaos, Samuel emerges as the truest embodiment of an assassin-an architect of fear, shrouded in shadows, and driven by a thirst for power. When Samuel targets Giovanni Mancini, a ruthless Templar seeking to extinguish dissent and impose tyranny over the masses, he plunges into a web of betrayal and bloodshed. Each kill is a calculated stroke in his grand design, a testament to his mastery of death. But as he spirals deeper into a world of violence, Samuel grapples with the seductive pull of corruption and the haunting legacy of his past. In this tale of ambition, darkness, and moral decay, the line between predator and prey blurs, and the true cost of power reveals itself. Samuel's journey into the abyss will challenge everything he thought he knew about loyalty, justice, and the very nature of freedom. In a world where shadows reign, will he emerge as the savior the city needs, or become the monster he has always feared?
