He was a dead man serving a life sentence in a hell of his own making. You were the only pure thing left in it. Taking place after the events of Daredevil Season 2 and diving into the brutal storyline of The Punisher Season 1, this story follows a fiercely independent university student double-majoring in Abnormal Psychology and Journalism, and her father's grieving best friend, Frank Castle. --- To you, Frank is just a quiet, broken shadow of the man you grew up with-a blue-collar worker drowning in the grief of a murdered family. You have no idea that the bruised, battered man sitting in your living room spends his nights waging a one-man war as the city's most lethal vigilante. Remaining a ghost as Pete Castiglione is the only way he knows how to protect the few innocent people he has left in his periphery. But when a suffocating, unspoken tension ignites between him and his best friend's daughter, his personal defences start to crack. It has to stay a secret. With your father - an NYPD detective and Frank's fiercely loyal friend - standing right between you, every heavy stare and stolen touch is laced with the threat of destroying the only family Frank has left. While Frank desperately tries to keep you safely in the dark, your investigative instincts are too sharp to ignore the blood spilling into your city. As you start digging into the criminal underworld, you inadvertently step closer to the dark, lethal reality he is desperately trying to hide. --- Timeline Note The first few chapters of this book are dedicated entirely to exploring the intense, psychological slow-burn and character dynamic between Y/N and Frank.
