Born Savage
A razor-sharp assassin thriller with a female lead and relentless global action.
High-stakes contracts. Elite killers. No room for weakness.
She’s the best at what she does. She just can’t afford to slip.
Acid Vanilla runs an elite assassination outfit where precision is everything. But as a major contract pulls her team into South Africa, the job starts to unravel before it even begins.
A powerful target, rival operatives, and a city crawling with danger should be enough to handle. Instead, Acid finds herself distracted, off-balance, and chasing something far more personal than the mission.
As pressure builds and the operation starts to fracture, every decision drags her further from the plan. And in a world where hesitation gets you killed, losing control might be the one mistake she can’t recover from.
