Description:

Her whole life was destroyed by a war her people, the Vaya, never should have been affected by. Now she’s fighting as an assassin, known to most only as The Shadow of Death, in that same war, intent on getting revenge on those who slaughtered her family. It doesn’t matter to her what she has to sacrifice to do so.

Make sure to check out my profile for lots of other universes for this story! I have just now (10/2/25) broken this up into multiple series rather than having it all under one, so if you previously bookmarked or subscribed to this series you may want to do the same to the others, as well!
