'He said he'd make me understand what it meant to be his. But now I knew. I thought of him and I knew. Because I'd read this quote as a child once, 'I loved you as Icarus loved the sun, too much...too close'. It was laughable, lacking that cliché element...but there was nothing on my mind except him. And the way he could you make you feel...his hands, his mouth...' Kira Rodgers has grown up with an incarnation of what she considers the devil himself, a being straight from hell. Someone she cannot trust but someone she would readily lay her life for; a someone she prayed she would never be tied to. A situation of irony and satire, she does not think twice when Adrian calls, thing is...she realises too late what answering his request may have meant. And now...Kira has fallen; a whirlwind so dark she dares to call it hate, mingled with the darkest of affections. But the town he calls her to harbours it's own secrets...bloody ones. The kind that terrifies grown adults and begs for forgiveness. Some say corpses turn up in Ole' Shilly.. Some say it is a town of murder and venom. Kira Rodgers simply accepted a proposal laced with wanton lust, not knowing the crime of what appears to be merely a town.

For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.
