𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Revenge Countless souls have fallen prey to its grasp, their lives shattered as deeply as those they sought to harm, if not more so. For most, mere death isn't the end It's not enough to satiate their thirst They crave retribution, wish for something beyond the grave. They want misery upon those who've wronged them. Long for the torment of those who've wounded them But at the end of the day, it's merely a wish, A burning desire for- well, nothing realistic, really For they are weak. Powerless Some may even deem them useless But then, there exist the select few- those who refuse to settle for anything less than the worst, denying death's grasp to unleash a living hell upon their enemies, Those who take matters into their own hands, seizing control & becoming the architects of their own vengeance, Now those, those are dangerous. For in their eyes, the concept of contentment is a foreign notion, replaced by a searing ache for more- More agony, despair. More misery, more wails. More destruction, chaos. People like him, they feed off of fear, thrive in causing pain. They're cunning, calculating, heartless But frankly, even the most twisted of them seem like harmless amateurs in comparison to him. He reeks of death Exudes darkness, sorrow Death is all that shadows his steps, making his existence a reminder of the inevitable fate that awaits his victims. And whispers in the Russian underworld speak of him as Mors- The god of death So, what happens when a girl, who abandoned her family, her life & the very empire bestowed upon her- just to escape the sight of death, catches the eyes of the reaper? What happens when he pulls her into the abyss of his world, intent on destroying all she has fought to be in pursuit of vengeance? And what happens when, as the day wanes, the embodiment of her deepest fear captures her eyes as well?

"You're a thorn in my side." . . . The bane of my existence has always been Alessandro Silvestro. He's the reason my blood boils every time I'm in the same room as him. The reason why I do things out of my character. He brings out the nasty, rotten side of me. He was my first love. First enemy. And if that wasn't enough, he's also the identical copy of my best friend. The person I hate the most also has the face of the person who means the most to me. And he'll stop at nothing to see me crushed and wither in front of his eyes.

"You like it, don't you?" "What?" I managed to breathe. "The fear, Miss Night," he mused, "you crave it." _______________________________________ Sabina Night owes Antonio Marafi her life.

When Damon Carbone, the rightful heir to the Italian Mafia gets overthrown and betrayed by his own family, he is forced underground. He now lives his life in the shadows as the notorious assassin, Il Mietitore, gaining the skills necessary to take back his throne. He devises a scheme to overthrow his cousin, Don Martino Mendoza, and get the revenge he's been craving for the past five years. But in order to accomplish that, he requires the help of a mysterious Femme Fatale. A Femme Fatale with a hidden past and her own agenda in mind.

Sean Andrés is dangerous and uncaring, an Italian assassin for the Mafia. He believes love isn't real and that people like him don't get happy endings. Until he meets her. Rosella Taylor. A beautiful but cynical and damaged orphan runaway with a dismal past. She gets nothing she wants. And love? She's given up in believing in love, it's just heartbreak and tears and happy endings only happen in clichéd novels. When these two lives collide one fateful night at a club, the pair's lives are turned upside down. Sean is enraptured by the sarcastic spitfire that is Rose, despite his best efforts not to be and suddenly, winning her heart seems to be his top priority. But with tormented pasts, old, destructive habits, criminal organizations and Rose's fear for love and her wariness of him, Sean getting his happy ending might not be possible. * She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen, there was no doubt about that. Everything about her drew me in. Her luscious hair, kissable lips, and her eyes! Those amber flames that pulled me in and burned me, sweetly torturing me. To say she was mesmerizing would be an understatement but as there are no words in the dictionary fit enough to describe her beauty, that is what I'll use. She was both a sinner and a saint, flawed yet somehow those flaws made her perfect. A creation of god meant only and solely for me. My other half. The missing part of my heart if not all of it. And it was that fact that made her so irresistible yet so dangerous. The fact that she could make me fall so hard in love that it would destroy me. She was dangerously irresistible. * Current cover by: @bullethood Dangerously Irresistible. Copyright © 2016 by @InfinitySkylines662. All Rights Reserved.
