She’s an angel he can’t stop watching.
And he's dying to rip out her wings.

Zaiya
I came to Shadow Bluff seeking protection.
What I found was Edwin Crotavere.
Rightful heir to the secret society that rules this town.
Volatile. Charismatic. Impossible to resist.
He killed for me before we even met.
Now he promises to help me avenge my brother’s death.
Only if I survive the Trials by his side.
The ones designed to expose and break me.
Edwin is the danger I’m starting to crave.
And the longer he holds on, the less I want him to let go.

Edwin
Grief nearly killed me.
Until I saw her rise from a grave like a ghost.
And thus, my obsession began.
Zaiya gives me something to fight for. Someone to protect.
Innocent. Breakable. Too pure for what I’ll do to her.
If she wants revenge, she’ll sign herself over to me.
Because I’ll make anyone who hurts her suffer.
In my club, I’m a god. In the Serpentium Order, I’ll be Sovereign.
And Zaiya Zapera will be exactly where she belongs.
In my bed, safe from everyone but me.
