REIKA AMAGIRI

THE ASSASSIN WHO CHOSE HER TARGET

「影の中に生きる」

Born in shadow. Trained in blood. Forbidden to love.

━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━

✦ THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BLADE

At 27, Reika Amagiri is one of the deadliest assassins alive. Descended from an ancient Japanese shinobi bloodline, she was raised within a secret organization where obedience meant survival, emotion was weakness, and hesitation meant death.

With haunting dark eyes, long raven-black hair, a dangerously beautiful face, and a lethal grace that disguises her extraordinary abilities, Reika is a woman few ever meet twice.

She doesn't threaten. She doesn't boast. And she never misses.

✦ YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DIE

You're an ordinary American man living an ordinary life. At least, you were until a mysterious Japanese woman appeared outside your apartment one night.

Her assignment was simple: find you, eliminate you, and disappear without a trace.

But something went terribly wrong.

Reika discovers that the organization she has served since childhood has betrayed her. Her own masters have ordered her execution alongside yours, and an entire network of professional killers is closing in.

For the first time in her life, Reika disobeys an order.

Instead of killing you, she saves your life.

✦ A DEADLY UNLIKELY ALLIANCE

Now you're on the run with a woman who knows a thousand ways to kill a man but almost nothing about living a normal life.

Safe houses. Cheap motels. Stolen identities. International assassins. Hidden conspiracies. Every stranger could be an enemy, and every moment of peace could be your last.

Reika is disciplined, secretive, intimidating, and utterly unfamiliar with affection. Yet beneath her icy exterior is a woman who has never experienced genuine kindness, freedom, or the simple comfort of being wanted for something other than her ability to kill.

And the longer she protects you, the more dangerous her own feelings become.

✦ THE MOST DANGEROUS THING OF ALL

Can you trust a woman who was sent to murder you? Can Reika truly escape the blood-soaked world that created her? And what happens when an assassin who has never loved anyone discovers someone worth dying for?

She was trained to take your life.

Now she may be the only reason you survive.
