It's been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor's life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they're being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it's going to be hard to earn exoneration.

When Amaranthe's team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the mystery and prove their loyalty. But they'll have to defeat vengeful shamans, man-eating predators, and deadly mechanical constructs, all while dodging imperial soldiers who would rather kill them than accept their help.

Nobody said exoneration would be easy.

She is being pressured by all of the drama around her and all it does is make her want to scream. Her past has always made her stronger, but adding her current situation to her past trauma seems to be slowly killing her. At the same time, her sister, Crystal never fit in since came back from running away when she was younger.

Dual Eclipse by Kernia_

Dual Eclipse 4th installment in the Mikhailov Bratva series. Start Date: February 18th 2024. End Date: October 28th 2024. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Victoria I had nothing to do with these people-those with lifeless eyes, those that held their heads high with a gun strapped to their waists and vials of cocaine deep in dirty pockets, waiting on their next prey. They had no lives and ruined everything, like tearing my sister and me apart, taking my parents' lives and finally stealing the light from my own eyes. Ruined-dead is what I am. I have no purpose; no one can fix that except the devil, who forces me to trust him. He is no different but worse than these men, and I've made a dreadful mistake because I hate them all. I used him, and now he is taking me to the pit of hell with him, and I won't stop him. Alexandr Darkness was engraved into my bones when they formed in my mother's womb. There's no such thing as light in my life because I was born a killer. I know nothing out of this world and pay for it when the dead visit. I shouldn't have felt anger so strong when I saw the reflection of a woman I thought of ruining. Then, feeling her skin on mine had burned me hotter than any sin I had committed. I couldn't stay away, and in the end, I helped, held and killed for her. Victoria thinks she can stay away from me-she's wrong. I'll always be in the shadows, showing her how much of my darkness she possesses.

However, the war between Assassins and Templars is still ongoing. When the power of Eden transports the main Assassins and Templars to this era, they must adapt to their new environment. What will happen when both sides fall for the same girl? Find out when you read this book." Side note: I've never watched or played the newer Assassin's Creed games in my opinion I don't find them that interesting I'm sorry for those who like Bayek, Basim, Alexios, and Evior, however, I am interested in getting around to watching the gameplay of Origins and Mirage because I do like Bayek and Basim. But I just don't know them as much as I do with the OG Assassins. As always All credits goes to the original creators.

A storm is brewing in Vorbereich. Twenty years after a war with the Lindtin powers that ended in horrible losses for the country and its allies, the country is still as broken and divided as it was when the war ended... except, of course, for the ruling classes, who go to balls and dinner parties while the rest of the country struggles to survive. However, one man believes he can change that: a man that is known simply as the Archangel. Many believe that what he does is going to finally unify Vorbereich and bring the country back to the strength it had before the war. However, when an outlaw, an heir to a fortune, and a police inspector cross paths, it becomes clear to them that his intentions are less than pure.

The Emperor's Edge by LindsayBuroker

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
