My twin sister was murdered. To find her killer, I had to die.<\/strong><\/p>\n
CATALINA<\/strong><\/p>\n
I was never supposed to exist.<\/p>\n
As the mortal spare to an immortal sister, I lived in the shadows<\/p>\n
until Ry was murdered by a weapon that shouldn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
Now, justice is all I want.<\/p>\n
To find her killer, I must take her place in the Queen\u2019s Elite Cadre<\/p>\n
and become the very monster everyone fears.<\/p>\n
But becoming a weapon means losing my humanity\u2026<\/p>\n
and losing the one man I can\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n
VALOREK<\/strong><\/p>\n
The immortals bleed my world dry while my sister rots from the inside out.<\/p>\n
I swore to burn their reign to the ground,<\/p>\n
until I met her.<\/p>\n
Sterling is the enemy,<\/p>\n
a silver-blooded soldier of the regime that destroyed my family.<\/p>\n
But the electricity between us is undeniable.<\/p>\n
We are on opposite sides of a brewing war,<\/p>\n
and falling for the enemy is a dangerous mistake<\/p>\n
neither of us can afford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

EXCERPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n
The simulation brings me back with a jolt. I land on the floor on all fours, choking on the saltwater burning my throat. Like before, once my brain catches up with reality, all the pain goes away. I hang my head and breathe easy.<\/p>\n
If that isn\u2019t a miserable attempt, I don\u2019t know what is. Ry passed this level on her first try. This military stuff came naturally to her. When we were kids, the placement test put Ry and me in the Military Sector, but I never belonged or excelled the way she did.<\/p>\n
The sleek white walls shine bright around me. Seconds later, Captain Weston\u2019s boots come into view. When I glance up, he cocks an eyebrow at me with both hands braced on his hips. He blows out a breath, and I swear a tinge of pity flashes across his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t pass your test.\u201d I sit back on my ankles, shaking uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone dies in the simulation. You did better than I expected.\u201d He scratches the stubble on his chiseled jaw. \u201cBut I do have my work cut out for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I in?\u201d I meet his gaze.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you talked to anyone since the accident?\u201d<\/p>\n
The accident?<\/em> My jaw clenches.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d I assume he means cadets from my unit. To Captain Weston, Valorek and his friends didn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d He clears his throat. \u201cBecause I have a proposal for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
When I open my mouth to speak, he brings his index finger to his lips and shakes his head once. Of course, he doesn\u2019t want to hear about how Ry\u2019s death wasn\u2019t an accident. We have been doing the same song and dance for weeks. This time, I do as he asks and keep quiet, but only because it looks like I am about to get what I want\u2014an opportunity to join the Queen\u2019s immortal army, where I\u2019ll have the ability to look into Ry\u2019s murderer myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need something from me.\u201d I meet his gaze.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need you to take your sister\u2019s place as a lieutenant in the Queen\u2019s army. You still need a lot of training before you can join Ry\u2019s unit, but we have a bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait. What?\u201d I gape at him as my heart thrashes in my ears. \u201cThat is not what I wanted at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI gave it some thought.\u201d He swallows. \u201cIt\u2019s all I can offer. It\u2019s the only solution, really.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have any idea how insane this sounds?\u201d I scoff. \u201cRy told me everything about the QEC simulator seven years ago. This was the easy part and I still died. How am I supposed to be her when I know nothing about her world? She had her own life outside of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m here. I\u2019ll be your guide.\u201d His eyes soften.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what, Captain Weston? Do I now get to call you Cap or Eli?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can call me whatever you want.\u201d He offers a crooked, sexy smile. \u201cIn fact, I think that if you call me Eli in private, the transition will be easier for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEli?\u201d I meant to be sarcastic, but he is completely serious with his answer.<\/p>\n

Author Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Diana Hicks writes dark, emotional romance where obsession runs deep, secrets cut sharp, and love always comes at a price.<\/p>\n
Her books blend steamy billionaire drama with forbidden marriages, high-stakes betrayal, and antiheroes who will burn the world to protect what\u2019s theirs. Best known for The Empire Trilogy, Diana\u2019s stories deliver heart-pounding romance with morally gray men, strong heroines, and just enough heat to leave you breathless.<\/p>\n
When she\u2019s not writing about power and passion colliding, she\u2019s probably sipping coffee like it\u2019s a love language, sweating off a plot twist at yoga, or posting angsty book teasers on TikTok.<\/p>\n
