Infinity's Embrace (Dark Planet Warriors #6) by Anna Carven takes us away from the First-Division Warriors and focuses instead on the deadly assassin's who are trained to take them down.

Ashreal was taken from his family at a young age, blinded and forced to train as an assassin, all because he showed signs of having strong psychic power. He's sent after Tarek, the former general of the Kordolian army, who defected with his elite First-Division warriors. Ash can't disobey a direct order from his mistress, but when he's captured Tarek helps him find a way to break free. Ash only succeeds in breaking his bonds because of Noa, a recently rescued captive.

Noa had a beautiful life until a shady corporation kidnapped her and experimented on her. Now she can hear everyone else's thoughts in her head and it's slowly driving her mad...until she meets Ashreal and he puts a shell over her mind to protect her. With his help she's able to learn to shield on her own, but there is a deep connection between them and she can't seem to let go.

This might be my favorite of the series to date. I really liked Ashrael and Noa. Their personal struggles were so heartbreaking, which made their connection and romance so much more powerful. The overall storyarc is really progressed in this novel, and I'm interested to see where things head next.
