Bane. Vengeance Is Mine, #1

Hope, and light. I have neither.BaneMy life revolved around death, they told me I had no soul. Until I met her, my Grace. She brought a secret sunshine to my life, until she didn't. She left with my brother. Then I met her daughter, and she desperately needed the skills I've honed over the years. In the end, it didn't matter, all I knew was that I had to protect Grace's child. I did what I had to do.
I did it for my Grace, my own saving light. My life might be over but I'll make sure she will survive. In my dying hour, I was saved by an unexpected source. A man who'd once been part of my dark world offered me a do over. I took it and vowed to become a better man. I then met Sarah. Her warmth and friendship held me up on the darkest days of my recovery. For the first time, I felt alive. for the first time I actually felt.
Now, Grace's child, Cricket needs me again. In fact, she needs the man I used to be. The killer.The heartless assassin. Can I kill again? If I do, will the beast in me take over?SarahI lived in fear, people are hunting me for a crime I committed a lifetime ago. I killed a man who deserved to die, then I ran away. I've been running for a long time now and I gave up everything just to live another day.
But the past always catches up and now, the man I'm with wants me to face my past. Can I trust this man with the whole truth and face my fears or do I continue to run?
