DEATH COULDN’T KILL HIM—IT JUST GAVE HIM A NEW LIFE TO DESTROY. Reo Carter was a name that made even the hardest killers shudder. A perfect hitman—no hesitation, no mercy.

He spent his last life dodging bullets—this is child’s play. - Dueling etiquette? A knife in the ribs is the only honor that matters. - A noble’s life of luxury? He’s had enough backstabbing for one lifetime, thanks. He was once a ghost in the underworld—a man who didn’t exist. Now, in a world where strength is everything, he’s about to remind them what true fear looks like. The hitman is back. And this time, he’s aiming for something more. #NobleByDayKillerByNature #TheyBroughtBackTheWrongMan #FromHitmanToDuke #SayYourLastWords

A MORTE NÃO CONSEGUIU MATÁ-LO—APENAS LHE DEU UMA NOVA VIDA PARA DESTRUIR. Reo Carter era um nome que fazia até os assassinos mais durões tremerem. Um assassino de aluguel perfeito—sem hesitação, sem piedade. Até que sua própria equipe se virou contra ele, deixando-o para sangrar até a morte em uma pilha de corpos que costumavam ser seus inimigos. Mas o destino ainda não tinha acabado com ele. Ele acorda em um mundo de nobreza, magia e duelos de honra—preso no corpo de Leonhardt Caulem, o filho mais fraco e inútil do Duque Caulem.

Mal sabem eles quem acabaram de trazer de volta. - Espadas e magia? Ele passou sua última vida desviando de balas—isso é brincadeira de criança. - Etiqueta de duelo? Uma faca nas costelas é a única honra que importa. - Uma vida de luxo de um nobre? Ele já foi apunhalado pelas costas o suficiente por uma vida inteira, obrigado. Ele já foi um fantasma no submundo—um homem que não existia. Agora, em um mundo onde a força é tudo, ele está prestes a lembrá-los de como é o verdadeiro medo. O assassino de aluguel está de volta.

DER TOD KONNTE IHN NICHT TÖTEN – ER SCHENKTE IHM NUR EIN NEUES LEBEN ZUM ZERSTÖREN. Reo Carter war ein Name, der selbst die härtesten Killer erzittern ließ. Ein perfekter Auftragskiller – kein Zögern, keine Gnade. Bis seine eigene Crew sich gegen ihn wandte und ihn blutend in einem Haufen Leichen zurückließ, die einst seine Feinde waren. Doch das Schicksal war noch nicht mit ihm fertig. Er wacht in einer Welt voller Adel, Magie und Ehrenduellen auf – gefangen im Körper von Leonhardt Caulem, dem schwächsten, nutzlosesten Sohn von Herzog Caulem. Ein verzogenes Gör ohne Talent, ohne Rückgrat und mit einem so erbärmlichen Ruf, dass selbst die Dienerschaft auf ihn herabsieht. Sie halten ihn für schwach? Sie haben keine Ahnung, wen sie da gerade zurückgebracht haben. - Schwerter und Magie? Er hat sein letztes Leben damit verbracht, Kugeln auszuweichen – das hier ist ein Kinderspiel. - Duell-Etikette? Ein Messer zwischen den Rippen ist die einzige Ehre, die zählt. - Ein adeliges Leben in Luxus? Er hat für ein Leben genug Verrat erlebt, danke. Einst war er ein Geist in der Unterwelt – ein Mann, der nicht existierte. Jetzt, in einer Welt, in der Stärke alles ist, wird er sie daran erinnern, wie wahre Furcht aussieht. Der Auftragskiller ist zurück. Und dieses Mal hat er etwas Größeres im Visier.

LA MORT N'A PU LE TUER — ELLE LUI A SEULEMENT DONNÉ UNE NOUVELLE VIE À DÉTRUIRE. Reo Carter était un nom qui faisait frémir jusqu'aux tueurs les plus endurcis. Un tueur à gages parfait — aucune hésitation, aucune pitié. Jusqu'à ce que sa propre bande se retourne contre lui, le laissant se vider de son sang au milieu d'une pile de corps qui furent autrefois ses ennemis. Mais le destin n'en avait pas fini avec lui. Il se réveille dans un monde de noblesse, de magie et de duels d'honneur — piégé dans le corps de Leonhardt Caulem, le fils le plus faible et le plus inutile du Duc Caulem. Un gamin pourri gâté sans talent, sans courage et à la réputation si pathétique que même les serviteurs le méprisent. Ils le croient faible ? Ils n'ont pas la moindre idée de qui ils viennent de ramener. - Les épées et la magie ? Il a passé sa vie antérieure à esquiver des balles — c'est un jeu d'enfant. - L'étiquette du duel ? Un coup de poignard dans les côtes est le seul honneur qui compte. - Une vie de luxe de noble ? Il a eu assez de coups dans le dos pour une vie, merci. Il fut jadis un fantôme dans la pègre — un homme qui n'existait pas. Désormais, dans un monde où la force est reine, il s'apprête à leur rappeler ce qu'est la vraie peur. Le tueur à gages est de retour. Et cette fois, il a de plus grandes ambitions.
