In the glittering heights of Caeloria, King Maximillian Verstappen rules from a throne steeped in blood, following in the ruthless footsteps of his late father, Jos. But in the shadows of Astrithal, the city's forgotten underbelly, a quiet rebellion brews - led by whispers of a masked assassin who struck down the tyrant king. Charles Leclerc, a lowly stable hand serving the new king, is a man of secrets. To Max, he is an enigma - a sharp-tongued servant who defies the court's expectations. But Charles hides a darker truth: he is the one who killed Jos Verstappen, and his hands are stained with royal blood. As Max and Charles grow closer, their forbidden connection threatens to unravel both of their worlds. Bound by lies, power, and a love neither can admit, they teeter on the edge of a kingdom poised to burn. When secrets are poison and love is a betrayal, how long can they survive before the crown falls? **GRAPHIC DETAILS OF BLOOD & DEATH MENTIONED IN THIS BOOK**

𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐒, 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒, 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒. Formula 1 is more than speed and glory - it is a stage where ambition festers, rivalries ignite, and sins take root. Behind the polished smiles and champagne showers lies something darker. No driver is innocent. No legacy is untouched. 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐒. 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒. 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒. 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 fuels the one who refuses to yield, convinced he is untouchable - until his arrogance sends him crashing down. 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃 drives the man who will sacrifice everything, even himself, in pursuit of the crown. 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐘 poisons the mind of the one who watches another take what he believes should be his, resentment turning to obsession. 𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇 burns through the driver who has spent a lifetime in the shadow of others, his fury as unchecked as his speed. 𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐓 pulses beneath the surface - desire for victory, for dominance, for something forbidden. 𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐘 is not just for excess but for hunger - an insatiable need to consume, to conquer, to never have enough. 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐇 is not mere laziness, but a creeping decay - the weight of expectation, the moment hesitation turns into downfall. They race on the edge of reason, playing gods in machines built for war. But sins do not forgive, and every action demands its price. In the end, who will rise - and who will fall? **DO NOT USE OR COPY MY IDEAS WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!!**
