Minor Assassin

A Novel by Jackiem Joyner

He was eight years old when the life he knew ended.

What came next was something far more dangerous.

Jon’s quiet childhood in the suburbs of Las Vegas is shattered by a brutal crime that no child should ever witness. In a single night, everything he knows is taken from him — his family, his safety, his innocence.

Alone and vulnerable, Jon is removed from the only world he’s ever known and placed into the care of mysterious strangers in a secluded village in Japan. They offer protection… but also something else: preparation.

As Jon learns the truth about what happened back home, grief hardens into resolve. And resolve turns into something irreversible.

A Child Forced to Become a Weapon

Minor Assassin is a fast-paced, emotionally charged thriller that explores what happens when vengeance becomes the only path forward — and the cost of walking it.

 Jackiem Joyner delivers a raw, cinematic story of transformation as Jon is trained, tested, and pushed beyond what any child should endure. The novel doesn’t glorify violence — it confronts it, placing the reader inside the psychological and emotional weight of survival, justice, and loss.

The result is a story that’s relentless, focused, and impossible to look away from.

More Than Action — A Story With Consequence

Beneath the adrenaline and intensity, Minor Assassin tackles real-world issues with seriousness and depth, including human trafficking, moral responsibility, and the blurred line between justice and revenge.

Readers are not given distance — they are placed directly in the moment, guided scene by scene with precision and restraint. There is no filler. No unnecessary detours. Every chapter moves with purpose.
