In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all. Expertly trained and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption . . .Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since.

Spoilers are abound in this review. Read at your own risk.Okay, well I lied about Darling's book being my last Kenyon novel and ended up doing this one on a dare. Why? Because I am silly like that and am just a glutton for punishment, especially since I know the punishment before it is even spoken -.-Anyway, it's basically like any other book Kenyon has ever written. The only thing that consistently changes? The character names, nothing more, nothing less. We have the same setup for love, plot,The ending saved this book from a 3 star review for me.This book definitely grew on me. At the beginning of the book I wanted to b*itch slap Kiara. I thought she was really annoying considering Nykyrian and the others were trying to protect her. I have to admit I really liked when Syn told her what was what. Well, finally after she watched the videos of Nykyrian when he was young she improved greatly. Anyone who knows me knows I love books with babies in them so this was a pleasant surprise. The
5 stars Paranormal/Sci-Fi RomanceIve had Kenyons Dark-Hunter series on my TBR list for quite some time now, but Im a little bit intimated by the number of books there are to get caught up on. The premise of The League series sounded interesting, the characters seemed intriguing, and with only three books produced so far, it felt a little less daunting of an undertaking. The main word that comes to mind to describe how I felt about this book is...WOW! And if its indicative of her other works,
This one is a tough book to categorize. It's technically sci-fi romance, but the storyline revolved around a world of assassins. The story did feature spaceships, other planets, and other races, but the main focus of the story shifted between the hero Nykyrian (and his tally of very detailed kills), and the woman Kiara that he was protecting.Nykyrian is a scarred, lonely assassin who is cold and unwilling to get close to anyone. When he finds a hostage on a ship that his team was sent to
*You have to learn to smile through your pain. Sometimes its all we got.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She belonged to the day, to warmth and sunshine.Her world was light and wonderful, filled with love and laughter.And he was born of night. His mother was the darkness, her cold embrace was all he had a right to crave. I love that the story focuses more on the characters and not the sci-fi world!:) and its easy to read...Nykyrian as the hero
This was simply amazing. I thought I would get tired by its size, but as it turned out, I wasn't bored for a single minute while reading this. Fans of tortured heroes who also happen to be mercenaries/assasins/outlaws should grab this one asap as Nykyrian is one of the best heroes in that area. Think about Zarek or Judd Laurens or Bastien. The last 100 pages disappointed me somewhat with the way the plot twisted in so many ways, but in the end, nothing can dull the awesomeness of this book.
