Carved In Darknesss

Anwesha_2005
The city’s underworld lives in fear of Vesper — a ruthless assassin who strikes only at midnight, leaving behind a single blade engraved with the letter ‘V’ embedded in the victim’s heart. Feared for their strength and precision, Vesper is believed to be a man — a shadow no one dares to cross. For Valerio Moretti, Vesper’s name is more than just a whispered legend. Years ago, the elusive killer claimed his grandfather’s life, leaving a scar Valerio has never forgotten. Now, as rumors of Vesper’s return spread, Valerio knows one thing — the assassin is closing in. Meanwhile, Leona Vale, a bubbly newcomer with an infectious smile, couldn’t be more out of place in Valerio’s violent world. Soft-hearted, a little clumsy, and hopelessly naive, Leona is the least likely person to survive the chaos of the criminal underworld — yet somehow, she does. Known more for spilling drinks than holding her ground, she’s quickly dismissed as a harmless bystander. But as bodies begin to fall and threats draw closer, Valerio faces a race against time to unmask the assassin stalking his empire — before Vesper strikes again. In a world ruled by shadows and blood, some threats hide in plain sight — and the deadliest ones leave no trace at all.
