Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all. Expertly trained
and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But
not even the League is immune to corruption . . . He was born and trained to
kill. Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League — and
has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him
or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a
woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target. She must accept his protection or die. As her
world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of
beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new
threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their
suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them the most: each
other.
This is the first book in the League series. The story takes
us out into space. Nykerian is one of the most notorious assassins who has done
his job brilliantly but at one point realizes that he just can’t kill this one
assignment. Because of that he signs his own death warrant. Kiara has assassins
after her so her father hires Nykerian and his friends to protect her. She just
doesn’t know what to make of any of them. This is a great divergence from
Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter. In reading her author’s notes these characters
where her childhood friends. They characters are so well developed. You can’t
help but fall in love with these felons. I truly loved this book and can’t wait
to read the next book in this series, Born of Fire.
