Sinopsis :
In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all. Expertly trained and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption . . .
Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target.
As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them the most: each other.

Born of Night is the first installment of the League series and this a book that have complicated history, if you read the foreword by Ms Kenyon herself. Born of Night is kinda Ms Kenyon's debut, a book that she wrote first and she write it in her darkest moment. No wonder Born of Night is so dark, darker compared with any Dark Hunter books (and no, I'm not talk about Acheron or Styxx). I know that tortured hero is Kenyon's trademark and she have a quirky habit to tortured her heroes. A lot. I almost cringe when read about Nykyrian's horrible childhood and how he still survived to become a high assassins in the League. I guess, normal people will go mad, yet Nykyrian still manage his insanity is beyond me.
