He was sent to eliminate me. He may be my only way out. They call me Nocturne, female assassin, traitor, ghost. But I’m also Interpol’s last shot at taking down the Iron Choir, a shadow empire poised to ignite global chaos. One child is the key to their endgame, and if I don’t save her, the world burns. My mission was protect the child and destroy the empire from within. But then he shows up. Archer Kingsley. Cerberus’s blade in the dark. He doesn’t miss. He doesn’t hesitate. His mission is kill Nocturne. Kill me. He should have killed me the moment we crossed paths in the abandoned monastery in the Swiss Alps. Instead, he hesitated. Now we’re stuck together in a deadly alliance, forced to trust each other as we dodge assassins, betrayals, and the sparks neither of us can control. The closer we get to the truth, the more dangerous this game becomes. And when the knife of betrayal slips too close, we’ll both have to trust the mission, or each other. One choice will save the world. The other could set it on fire.
