📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
Sarai is desperate to transform herself into a formidable assassin, and she's willing to do whatever it takes—even if it means training under the very man who saved her. As Victor reluctantly takes her under his wing, their dangerous dynamic crackles with intensity, but Sarai soon discovers that becoming someone new comes with a steep price. When enemies close in and she's forced to prove herself in ways she never imagined, she'll have to decide if this thrilling, dark life is truly worth the cost—and whether she can trust the one person she's come to depend on. This is a high-stakes tale of transformation, passion, and the blurred lines between survival and revenge that will keep you gripped until the final twist.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, seductive indie rock and moody R&B that pulses with danger and desire. Think sultry vocals over gritty beats, industrial undertones, and tension-soaked alternative tracks. Atmospheric, intoxicating, forbidden—music that mirrors the thrill of crossing boundaries you can't uncross.
