Trained as an assassin since childhood, Nadya is a weapon of precision and purpose, her humanity buried beneath layers of deception and blood. But the ghosts of those she’s lost, and the man she was forced to betray, refuse to let her go. Sasha Morozov was the perfect soldier until he became the perfect target. Programmed for loyalty, stripped of his identity, and haunted by fragments of the man he used to be, he’s now a rogue force caught between vengeance and redemption. Markus Sauber has always worked in the darkness, a relentless crusader with a fractured soul. Driven by his own moral code and the scars of a family torn apart, he sees through lies and thrives in chaos. But even he is drawn into a web of manipulation when his hunt for Nadya reveals truths that could shatter them all. In a world where enemies wear familiar faces and trust is the deadliest weapon, their paths collide in a game of survival. As alliances shift and old wounds resurface, Nadya, Sasha, and Markus must confront the ghosts of their pasts—or be consumed by them. Conventional Weapons is a tale of broken heroes, unforgivable choices, and the search for meaning in a world built on lies. For fans of dark intrigue, action-packed espionage, and the delicate balance between humanity and destruction.
