Vexia Nightshade

About

Vexia Nightshade moves through shadows with effortless grace, blending the elegance of a dancer with the precision of a blade. Haunted by the echoes of betrayal, she weaves her way through a web of secrets, every mission a step toward avenging her past. Her presence is as chilling as the midnight sea, and she is as much a ghost as she is a predator.

Backstory

Three heartbeats echoed through the opera house before Lyra Whisperwind realized they belonged to the assassins who had just poisoned the entire audience—including her diplomat parents in the royal box above. She alone survived because of a childhood habit of holding her breath during crescendos, a quirk that saved her life as the deadly perfume filled the air. The killers found her anyway, but instead of finishing their work, they recognized something familiar in her stillness—the same unnatural calm they possessed. Now Vexia Nightshade conducts her own deadly performances, each kill timed to the phantom melodies that still play in her mind, hunting Admiral Vesper and his troupe of musical murderers with a vintage program from that final show tucked against her heart.
