NIKOS
They call me the God of the Dead.
Forged in violence. Worshipped through fear.
Her brother’s betrayal should’ve ended with a bullet,
but death was a mercy he didn’t deserve—so I took her instead.
Serena Conti.
Soft where I’m brutal. Pure where I’m poison.
She was meant to be a warning,
a leash around her brother’s throat.
But that’s a lie I can’t keep telling.
Because now, she’s under my skin.
In my blood.
A lethal madness infecting every part of me.
The only thing more dangerous than my wrath…
is my obsession.
And I’ll burn the world down before I ever let her go.
SERENA
To save my brother, I made a deal with a monster.
Nikos Romano.
The villain in every story I was warned about.
A legend built on blood and fear.
Now I wear his ring like a shackle,
and his name like a brand.
I should hate him.
Sometimes, I do.
But I see the cracks in his armor,
the broken boy beneath the brutal king.
I thought I could save him.
That love would be enough.
I was wrong.
It was my sentence.
And he is my executioner.
