What would you do if every paramount event that took place in your life appeared on your skin? If every single moment, every single memory, whether it be good or bad, every single thing that was ever worth meaning, every everlasting moment that occurred in your lifetime in all it's entirety was scrawled upon your flesh and put on display for the whole world to see? - Enter the world of Taint Ryval. He's dark, sexy, mysterious, and full of sin. Everywhere he goes disaster is sure to follow in his wake. The equal parts ink and scars splayed across his pale flesh tell tales of horrors and torment so unspeakable and unfathomable that many find him hard to look at. For this very reason, he has ended the lives of thousands before they could ever even get the chance. - Liliya White has never had so much as a pen break on her in a world full of people that are covered in ink. Her flesh is barren and so is her heart. Disgraced by her own town and ashamed of her skin, she has no one and nowhere to turn to and she's desperate for answers. Then she meets Taint, a strange man that many can't even bear to look at, but she can't seem to tear her eyes away from or her heart for that matter. Could he be the answer to all of her prayers?
