The Devil's Prodigy

After the fall of the monarchy and the battle to reclaim Shiganshina, Levi Ackerman is left carrying the weight of survival, grief, and a past he thought he buried long ago. But when a woman from Kenny Ackerman's past appears at Scout Headquarters, Levi is forced to confront the one thing he never expected Kenny to leave behind: a protégé.

Elaine Voss was fourteen when Kenny found her in the Underground and turned a desperate, knife-wielding girl into a deadly assassin. For ten years, she lived in the shadows of his world-running missions, keeping his secrets, and hearing endless stories about the infamous Levi Ackerman, the prodigy who came before her. To Elaine, Levi was nothing more than the ghost of Kenny's past and the standard she could never escape.

Then Kenny dies.

Left with nothing but a cryptic letter, a trail of hidden records, and a mission Kenny never finished, Elaine is determined to uncover the truth behind his death and complete the work he left behind. But the answers she's searching for lead straight to Levi-the very man she has every reason to hate.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Levi and Elaine must navigate Kenny's buried secrets, the corruption still festering beneath the walls, and the dangerous legacy of the Ackerman name. As old wounds reopen and loyalties are tested, Elaine begins to realize that Levi may not be the enemy she imagined-and Levi must decide whether the woman Kenny trained is a threat, a burden... or something far more dangerous.

In a world where monsters wear human faces and the dead leave behind more than grief, Kenny Ackerman's greatest legacy may be the two people he never meant to bring together.
