Blades Between Us

She was trained to kill without hesitation. But the one life she spares might be the only thing standing between her and the war to come. Elira Venn is a weapon — forged by the Shroud, bound to a cursed blade, and raised to follow orders without question. Her latest assignment should be simple: eliminate Kael Renn, a healer hiding in the slums of Virehall. But Kael is kind, selfless, and nothing like the enemies Elira was taught to fear. When she hesitates, everything unravels. Marked as a traitor, Elira becomes the hunted. Her former masters want blood. The rebellion wants her skills. And Kael — the man she was meant to kill — may be the only one she can trust. As unrest boils in the streets and an ancient power awakens beneath the city, Elira is drawn into a conflict far bigger than a single blade. Her weapon is whispering. The Marshal is watching. And the choice she made in a fog-covered alley may ignite a war no one is ready for. Blades Between Us is a dark fantasy tale of assassins and rebellion, sacrifice and survival, where loyalty is a lie, love is dangerous, and the line between hunter and hunted disappears in the fog.
