Killing and Protecting

In a world where trust can get you killed, Maxin Romanov knows that staying alive takes more than strength — it takes losing your soul, piece by piece.



Orphaned and shadowed by a past that won’t stay buried, Maxin drifts through life like a ghost... until fate shows up in the form of blood, betrayal, and a debt long overdue.



Nox, the assassin sent to end his life, makes a fatal mistake — she chooses to spare him.



Now hunted from both sides, Maxin and Nox are bound by a fragile alliance that defies logic, morality, and instinct. As the truth unravels and the past strikes back with a vengeance, Maxin must decide: trust the one who was meant to kill him, or run from the darkness that connects them both.



Because some stories aren’t meant to have a happy ending — they're written in blood.
