In the heart of Dark, a city where skyscrapers glisten like daggers under the moon and secrets drip from champagne glasses, power isn't held by politicians-it's whispered in the shadows, traded in smoke-filled rooms, and sealed with bloodstained rings.
They call themselves The Ashen-a name that echoes like a myth in the streets, feared in the underworld, and worshipped by those who know better than to ask questions. On paper, they're SVT Revenant, a multinational corporation with fingers in real estate, fashion, and tech. But behind those luxurious walls are thirteen men who know how to make someone disappear without leaving a trace-or a heartbeat.
And then there's her.
Arya never asked to be part of this world. A psychology graduate on the cusp of her career, she was more accustomed to decoding trauma than dodging bullets. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night. One wrong turn. One dead man at her feet.
And now, they want answers. Blood for blood. Secrets for silence.
But Arya? She holds his heart - and perhaps, unknowingly, the power to unravel them all.
"I don't know what messed-up fantasy you're living in, but here in the real world, THIS is harassment! I SWEAR, if you send me anything else, I will KILL YOU! KEEP YOUR MONEY TO YOURSELF, YOU CRAZY STALKER!" she yelled, and with one final look of rage-SLAM!-she shut the door in my face.
