Assassin's Affinity
No. 1 in Assassin's Affinity Series
Is assassination a form of art or murder?
Her name is Red.
Red like roses. Red like sunsets. Red like blood.
His name is Chase.
He's chasing missions. Chasing perfection. Chasing her.
He's a lone wolf, and she's his blue moon... dive into twisted tropes of guilt-ridden revenge and contended trust.
The sewers filthy and stained with blood have always been a myth in Perennia. That is, until Red's part-time job as an assassin transforms into a secondary identity in a league she never wished to join, where she finds herself at the other end of the deal—as the target.
As the seasons change, fragments of her clouded past begin to reform. Can she really abandon her memories when the price is a one-way ticket to hell? Can she really escape from an identity that turns her from predator into prey?
The truth is...
Assassination calls her.
Fuels her.
Binds her.
An amateur leading a double life. A passive prince with a database mind. An enigma on par with the world's most skilled assassins. Enter an unspoken game of survival.
Assassin's Accolade
No. 2 in Assassin's Affinity Series
Is assassination a game or contest?
She's a hothead, and he's her arctic... tour the Grand Prix Execution grounds in a fast-paced tournament to win the ultimate accolade—the Sagittaria Ovata.
Red knows. Everyone's been telling her.
Chase knows. He's been there before.
The Deka Games symbolize the maintenance of order in the Assassin's Village. But it's epithet, the Grand Prix Execution, originates from a history of bloodshed that's formidable even for assassins. From unethical obstacles to fanciful cuisines of venomous delicacies and herbal toxins, there's hardly a chance to survive. There's barely a chance to breathe. Especially for the inexperienced.
Watch what you taste.
Watch what you touch.
Watch what you say.
Watch the eyes watching you.
No one is safe. Not on the training grounds. Not in the infirmary. Definitely not on the battle stage. As if there isn't already enough blocking Red's path to reclaim the Sagittaria Ovata, the arrowhead her parents left her with, talents and prodigies from every region have gathered to fight for this honor.
Until, slowly, they begin to realize her identity. The unnamed amateur, the assassin in the spotlight, the most prized possession of Begonia, the Blood Moon. Not a soul thought the number one esteemed assassin in history had birthed a daughter before she was buried. But she did.
And now, her daughter was the unofficial accolade sitting in point-blank range of blood-lusting, honor-craving, revenge-starved assassins.
