Summary
For fifteen years, she had been nothing more than a number to ARCX—just another child bought and trained to become an assassin… or worse.
It took fifteen years for her to be given a name of her own: Phantom. Not a real name, perhaps, but far better than her old one—A-6.2.6.
She escaped Frankenstein’s laboratory and worked to become the best of them all—the ARCX’s worst nightmare. And she succeeded.
Now, at eighteen, with the reputation of being the best in the field, Phantom returned to the ARCX complex to carry out the mission of her life, knowing she wouldn’t walk out of there, but certain she would cause as much damage as possible.
However, what Phantom hadn’t planned for was that, after being gunned down, she would wake up inside a black body bag on her way to the morgue—completely unharmed.
Ancient mysteries are uncovered. Allies are forged. Enemies and conspiracies begin to emerge, and amidst it all, a family grows stronger and closer.
Before all this, Phantom was deadly by her own right and skills.
Now that she has become immortal—Phantom is unstoppable. -

Summary
They were immortals, so long stretches of silence felt natural. Sometimes when it was just the two of them in quiet moments between missions, they’d go for days without speaking. They didn’t need to communicate with words. They moved together like water, centuries of intimacy creating a connection so deep they could read each others’ body language as clear as words.
Joe knew from looking at the tightness in Nicky’s shoulders and the way he rubbed an errant bit of dry skin on his lip that his partner of a thousand years had many things to say but wasn’t yet ready to give breath to them.
----
In the aftermath of the revelation of Joe's contact with Booker, Nicky confronts Joe about his actions.

Summary
“Are you okay?” said Seb, when they had all sat down. The night was black and noiseless and it sat like a blanket over the five of them.
Nile was quiet as she drew her knees up to her chest against the cold. “Not really,” she admitted.
The fireworks were gorgeous. They’d bought a lot of red and gold, and they trailed down together over and over again to fizzle out against the huge backdrop of the open sky. When she shut her eyes she could see them light up the darkness through her closed eyelids.
“I was never meant to live this long,” she said, voice tucked like a secret under the noise. “I was never supposed to see this. You get me?”
“I do. I’m sorry.”
Nile turned to him and tilted her head. “You’re the best thing about my life, you know,” she said. “All of you.” She glanced at her watch, and back up at the stars. It had gone midnight. She’d been six years old this time a hundred years ago, staring up at the sky.
