I feel as though I need to advertise this book and since I offer terrible advice. How about I interest you in some thoughtful words of sarcasm?!?! No, okay. Than pull your sh*t together and start reading, every second you waste from reading my opinion is a second well spent. Get ready to start wasting more seconds on this book that you will never get back. I can hardly guarantee your health will be the same, once you continue reading.

In the Ichidian Universe no one was safe people were dragged from their homes and killed in the streets. Victims of a ruthless tyrant who was bent on being the sole ruler. Those who opposed him formed an alliance called The League, which fell under the leadership of the Quorum.

The Quorum realized that the best way to keep trouble from starting was to cut it off at its knees. So a separate group of soldiers was needed, The League Assassins. Highly trained and highly valued, they are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption...

Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades was born and trained to slaughter. Refusing to be a pawn, he turned his back on the League and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him. Now his assignment is to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father's political alliance has made her a target. She wants nothing to do with politics, yet she is forced to submit to protection or die.

And 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 most- each other.

Quote from Born of Night:

"I'll check on you when I get home. I love you, baby. (Kiefer)

I love you too, Daddy. (Kiara)

What the hell was that action? (Syn)

I think it's something called 'paternal concern.' (Nykyrian)

What...? You sure? I thought that crap was a myth. (Syn)

No, really. I watched it once in a documentary. It was fascinating. Believe it or not, there are people out there who actually have feelings for their progeny. (Nykyrian)

Get the fuck out. No way. You're screwing with my head again, aren't you? (Syn)

No, I swear. You just saw it with your own eyes. I did not make that shit up. (Nykyrian)

Yeah but it's really messing with my concept of the natural order of the universe. Paternal love? What's next? Limb regrowth? Genetic splicing reversals? (Syn)"

Excerpt

(Prologue)

"I quit The League tonight."

Dr. Sheridan Belask paused at the deep, thickly accented voice coming out of the darkest corner of his office. He looked up from the electronic medical files he was reviewing on top of his obsidian glass desk, but couldn't see even the smallest trace of the man hidden in the shadows.

He was used to that.

As a trained League assassin, Nykyrian Quiakides was literally one with the blackest night. No one ever saw him coming or going.
