The series
In this series, it informs about the state of affairs in the Ichidian universe. No single individual was safe; many people were dragged from their residential homes and assassinated in the streets. Most of the victims were of a ruthless tyrant who was bent on being the only ruler of their entire empire. Those who opposed his ruling and his army agreed to form an alliance called the league. The alliance fell under the leadership of the Quorum.
The alliance succeeded to put down the tyrant. The quorum then decided to cut off at its head so as to keep trouble from starting ever again. This required a formation of separate group of soldiers, the League Assassins. They were highly trained and valued and formed the backbone of the government. It is realized that the League is too corrupt.
Sherrilyn Kenyon welcomes the readers to the world where corrupt assassination politics control everything and everyone in the state. The state of affairs appears really severe because it seems there is no cure for the situation which is worsening day by day. People in this universe are either hunters or preys; you kill or you are killed. However, there are some who will go further in protecting others; women and men who came from the streets usually the bloodied backgrounds of survival. You only need to decide if they are the better than the ones chasing you.
The loyal, sarcastic, and highly trained deadly men and women are the next generation of list of heroes. They perfectly know how to laugh in face of danger and madness. They can endure the worst situation which is caused by the league and their correspondent enemies and fling at them. The very important thing is that they know how to fight and protect.
