by M.S. Rose
Undercover Assassin follows eighteen-year-old Mazikeen, who believes she has finally escaped the ruthless Russian organization that raised her. But just as she begins to imagine a future free of blood and weapons, her illusion is shattered the night she is shot and left for dead. Dragged back into the world of the Red Veil—the assassin syndicate that molded her into their lethal asset, Black Lotus—Mazikeen must confront the mastermind known only as "Father." As old enemies close in and betrayals cut deep, she must decide if she can truly outrun her past or if survival means finishing the war she never wanted to start. Blending psychological tension with high-stakes action, this gritty thriller explores identity, control, and the devastating cost of reclaiming one's life.
