The deadliest man on campus is out for blood. And I have just painted a giant target on my back. Hitman. Assassin. Contract killer. Hired murderers have many names. And Blackwater University trains them all. My brother is the last chance my family has to restore our name after a devastating failure. He was on track to become one of the best hitmen of his year, but he made a mistake. He crossed Eli Hunter. The most dangerous student on the entire campus. So I made a desperate choice. I enrolled in Blackwater University to take my brother’s place as Eli’s target. Every wicked and depraved act he was going to inflict on my brother, I will endure instead. Eli Hunter is going to do everything he can to drag me into the depths of hell. But little does he know that hell is about to become my own personal playground.

Six years ago, I saved the life of a mafia prince. Biggest mistake I ever made. Because now, the people who wanted him dead have realized that he is in fact still alive, and since I am the one to blame for that, my head is now on the chopping block too. In order to evade them, I decide to hide in the one place they would never expect me to be. A school for assassins. Pretending to be a mediocre student, I hide my true skills and change my appearance so that no one will notice me. But there is one massive problem that I did not see coming. The mafia prince I saved is there too. And he recognizes me. Keeping my identity hidden becomes increasingly difficult when he is doing everything in his power to force me to admit who I really am. If I don’t reveal my identity to him, he might actually kill me. But if I do, our hunters will kill us both. So I only have one withstand his dangerous attention and hope that he loses interest. But the problem with a lethally powerful man like him is that once he sets eyes on his prey, he doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants.

Attending Blackwater University was my desperate attempt to gain a scrap of freedom. But instead, I find myself ensnared by a cold-hearted killer. My brothers have been trying to knock the Hunters off their throne for years. I thought that I could stay out of their war and just enjoy my newfound freedom. But fate had other plans. When Kaden Hunter sets eyes on me for the first time, my fate is sealed. To him, I am the perfect target. A fragile toy to be played with and tormented. Nothing more than leverage to use as a way to bring my family down. But little does he know that I am not nearly as breakable as everyone assumes. In fact, he is the one who should be worried about me. Because if he doesn’t watch his back, he might just find a knife buried in that icy heart of his.

As the sole heir to a massive business empire, I have had my whole future mapped out for me from the day I was born. I have also had my entire life monitored. Everywhere I go, a bodyguard follows. And I have had enough. I just want to attend university like a normal person without being shadowed, so I have scared off bodyguard after bodyguard by being an absolute menace. But then my father called in him. Jace Hunter. The youngest son from a legendary assassin family. Because he grew up with several unhinged brothers, he thinks that he can handle me. But he has no idea who he is up against. I will be more than just his own personal demon. I will be his undoing.
