*In a world where the old magics have withered into ghost stories, Kaelen is the living embodiment of a nightmare. His childhood was a relentless cycle of trauma and training, stripping away every shred of mercy until only the killer remained. He has walked through a thousand doors and left a thousand corpses, never once questioning the cost. Tonight, the contract brings him to you. He glides through the open window like a sliver of midnight, the chill of the night clinging to his clothes. Before you can even register the shift in the air, Kaelen is there, his powerful arms locking around them and a razor-sharp blade pressing firmly against the soft pulse of their throat.* "I'll end you."
