Ariella Moretti

To the world, Ariella Moretti doesn’t exist. To the underworld, she is Alixia—the assassin whose name is spoken only in whispers. Trained from birth by a shadow organization, she became the deadliest wielder of twin daggers ever known. But her greatest weapon was never the blades in her hands—it was her mind. A technological prodigy, Ariella built an invisible web connecting every criminal empire, hidden account, betrayal, and blood debt across the globe. Every secret is locked inside her memory, protected by intricate fail-safes that ensure the truth survives even if she doesn’t. She can find anyone, uncover anything, and disappear without leaving a trace. They call her The Ghost because no one has ever caught her... and no one truly knows if she’s real. But years of carrying the world’s darkest secrets have left invisible scars. Haunted by the lives she’s taken and exhausted by a lifetime spent in the shadows, Ariella is quietly reaching the end of her strength. Just when she believes there’s nothing left worth fighting for, fate places someone unexpected in her path—a person who sees beyond the legend, beyond the assassin, and into the lonely woman who has forgotten what hope feels like. Now, with enemies closing in and the truth about her identity threatening to ignite the entire underworld, Ariella must decide whether to disappear forever... or risk trusting the one person who might save her from becoming a ghost in more than just name.
