Uncompromising
She hunts the darkness.
He was born in it.
Vienna is a city of secrets, but none are as lethal as the ones Olivia Markham keeps. Forged by tragedy and guided by a divine, unspoken mandate, she has systematically stripped away every civilian illusion to become a perfect weapon. By day, she is a ghost in the CIA machinery; by night, she is the Harlequin—a masked vigilante dispensing righteous justice with a bō staff. But when she interrupts a demonic ritual in the Stadtpark, she steps into an ancient war she has unknowingly been preparing for her entire life.
Enter Mihàil Kastrioti. The Drangùe. A warrior of ancient blood and a guardian against the soulless bogomili. Olivia has already rejected compromised spies and civilian healers; she requires a "lion among men" who shares her uncompromising moral architecture. In Mihàil, she finally finds the only predator capable of standing beside her in the dark.
Their connection isn’t a sudden spark; it is the profound, hard-won recognition of two lethal equals. Mihàil recognizes Olivia’s dangerous potential, but as the demon Asmodeus rises, he doesn't see a weapon to be used—he sees a partner to be protected.
While the Dark Irim seeks to weaponize Olivia’s grief, Mihàil’s instinct is absolute protection. Now, in a battle for the soul of the world, his greatest struggle isn’t the enemy hunting them. It is overcoming the terror of losing the woman he loves, and finally accepting her as his zonjë—a fierce, fully actualized Elioud warrior fighting at his side.
TESTIMONIAL
"It’s fascinating to read Liane Zane’s novels. She builds a world that feels real and magical at the same time! Loyalty, justice, truth, friendship, and beautiful minds win.
The intense plot twists across countries and cultures as I too think hard alongside the heroine as she navigates impossible dilemmas. Her heroes are strong, authentic, conflicted, and deeply human. I love them all! I loved discovering them as the plot develops. Even the villains are compelling.
The author’s knowledge of history, people, locations, and customs is immense. I see the heroes, the plot, and their world finding the way to the big screen. Recommended to me by a friend and now my own recommendation: I recommend Liane Zane’s books to all."
