BOOK ONE Demitri Inou is an assassin of the new government, molded and manicured into the perfect pet. Obedient and submissive, he'll do anything the Con Rồng tells him to because he knows the consequences of disobeying them, but even through years of torture and instilled fear, he remains somewhat defiant towards his handlers. Though he's lost all humanity, virtue, and hope of being free, he refuses to completely succumb to them, and uses his hatred towards them to fuel each assassination. Being the skilled killer he is, it isn't at all surprising when the leader of the Con Rồng sends him on a mission that could either end the new government or boost their following and power. A mission to eliminate the leader of the Phoenix Rebellion, Phoniks Vidroh. At first it seems like just another mission, another simple assassination, but things go terribly wrong, and Demitri finds himself smack in the middle of the rebellion, fighting against the strings that tie him to the Con Rồng, and the hope of freedom and safety with a childhood friend he'd always assumed to be dead. "... and even as the world is consumed in the flames of evil, the strong will continue to rise from the ashes."

Finnigan "Finn" Grant is a quiet, introverted boy. It takes trust to get him far enough out of his shell to get him to open up about himself and his emotions. Hunter Marks is a relatively lax individual with a decent amount of self-confidence. He might come off as cool and collected, but he can quickly think of a witty way to fight back in order to protect those that he cares about. He prefers to be called by his middle name and only lets a few select people use his first. Can these two polar opposites prove that opposites do, in fact, attract? Can Hunter convince Finn to open up about his rocky past? ---- POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: depression, self-harm, bullying, death of family member, mild violence. also this story is cliché and hella gay so if you don't want to read that shit then don't because im not gonna stop writing this because you're offended by two human beings making out.
