Then, the mask snapped. Driven to the edge by a hunger he can no longer contain, Dimitri stops watching. He decides to own. The transformation is absolute. The quiet boy vanishes, replaced by a ruthless Master who recognizes that a wild, psychotic animal like Lucas doesn't need a friend,he needs a cage.

Lucas has spent his life breaking others, but he's finally met the man who can teach his "pretty little brat" a lesson in who truly reigns. In a world of blood-stained silk and lethal obsession, any path that doesn't lead to Dimitri's feet is a path to death. **He was born to Reign. He was built for Ruin.**
