At sixteen, 𝐍𝐲𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚 was taken. Not for ransom. Not for revenge. For training. Hidden away in a remote house in Nova Scotia, she was forced to become something she never chose to be-something dangerous. Something deadly. She had given up on humanity, until she met 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞. He was the strongest. The most feared. The one who wasn't supposed to feel anything at all. But he did. What they built in the dark was enough to destroy everything. Now, years later, the past isn't just haunting Nyla-it's happening again. People are disappearing. The pattern is too familiar to ignore. And the only person who can help her stop it... is the one she ran from. -𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 -𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 -𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 -𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 -𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 -𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐡𝐦 -𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 -𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭
