Blood-Born (The League: Eve of Destruction Book 3)

Jayne Erixour, a bounty hunter and assassin, believes she has an all-encompassing understanding of the universe. She has witnessed the most abhorrent dregs of humanity and every sentient species that has emerged from the depths of hell. To her, there is no truth beyond the recoil of her blaster and her resolute determination to keep everyone at a distance.

Hadrian Scalera is on the run, fleeing from the same ruthless assassins who brutally slaughtered every member of his family, both biological and foster. He has no refuge and dares not call anyone a friend, for that would mean their demise. He expects no mercy from anyone, until the day when one assassin hesitates to pull the trigger.

The code of an assassin is straightforward: kill or be killed. No prey, no pay. Every life has a price. If Jayne fails to fulfill her contract and eliminate Hadrian, she will be the next target on the League's list. However, as old adversaries return to hunt them both, they quickly realize that neither will survive unless they learn to trust each other. Yet, things are never that simple, and survival means that only one of them can emerge victorious.

Hadrian Scalera's life has been turned upside down by the very assassins Jayne Erixour works for. With no one to turn to and no safe haven, he finds himself in a precarious situation, forced to confront the harsh realities of the assassin's world. As he tries to evade his pursuers, he encounters Jayne, an assassin who seemingly holds the key to his survival.

Jayne, on the other hand, is a seasoned bounty hunter and assassin who prides herself on her ability to detach from her targets. She has seen the darkest depths of the universe and has no qualms about taking a life if it means fulfilling her contract. However, when she is tasked with eliminating Hadrian, she finds herself hesitating, a moment of hesitation that could have dire consequences.

As the two are forced to work together to survive, they quickly realize that their only hope lies in putting aside their differences and learning to trust each other. Yet, the assassin's code is ingrained in them, and the temptation to betray one another lingers, making their alliance a fragile and uncertain one.

The stakes are high, and the future of both Jayne and Hadrian hangs in the balance. With old enemies closing in and the threat of the League looming, they must navigate the intricate web of deception and danger that surrounds them. Only by overcoming their own biases and preconceptions can they hope to survive and, perhaps, find a way to break free from the relentless cycle of violence that has consumed their lives.
