A young assassin’s place in a system built on violence

In this opening volume of the Sree Kaano trilogy, Sree faces a society that assigns status through assassination—and a role his genetically designed species is expected to fulfill. His family’s reputation deepens the pressure, while the Makers decide who holds importance and who becomes a target. The central conflict links personal resistance with the risk of challenging an established hierarchy: Sree wants no part in the work expected of him, but refusing it may put him in danger. The setup combines alien-contact science fiction with a young adult thriller framework, and places questions of inherited expectations, power, and survival at the heart of the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in science-fiction thrillers
  • Readers drawn to stories about resisting social expectations and power structures
  • Those looking for the first installment of a science-fiction trilogy

Book overview

Be an assassin. Or else become a Target.

 

A science fiction YA thriller

 

Sree Kaano doesn't want to be an assassin. Except that his species, the Re'Ris, were genetically designed to be just that. Even worse, his family members are famous for it.

The Makers on his world determine who is important and who must become a target. If you aren't one, then you are the other.

On a world where prestige and power depend on how many assassinations you fulfill, how can Sree stand up against society and not be targeted himself?

 

This is Book 1 in the Sree Kaano trilogy.
