He's an assassin. She's his assignment. It was never just a game.
Darkly spicy romantasy for fans of dark academia and mafia romances, Nocturnus is the first book in the Faded Ink series by Greer Rivers.
Cadence Lee sought sanctuary at the elite Graveston University, desperate to outrun a past steeped in violence. But the campus harbors darker secrets than her own: the Order of Crows, a ruthless society that just initiated ex-con Carver Wilde as their new assassin.
His first command: neutralize the threat Cadence poses to their world.
He planned to break her. Instead, he shattered his own defense, falling for the woman he was sent to destroy. Now, as the line between killer and protector blurs, Carver must choose between the loyalty that bought his freedom and the woman who became his entire world.
But in a game where secrets are power, the cost of love might be a life for a life.
