One night with a mysterious woman in a small town haunted my dreams.
Then I found her again – the lost Baranov princess.
Carrying my child, running from demons I was hired to protect.
She’s thirteen years younger, innocent despite her darkness.
The virgin sacrifice in a mafia war I never wanted to join.
But now her enemies are mine to destroy.
They think they can use her as a pawn? I’ll burn their empire to ashes.
The hitman without a home has found something worth dying for.
Her defiance awakens my devotion.
And I’ll paint this city red to keep what’s mine.
