With Love, Comes Violence
In a world where love has become a dangerous game, violence is no longer a crime-it's law.
Following a global crisis that caused birthrates to plummet and society to unravel, a radical new solution was proposed: Love's Law-a decree legalizing physical combat as a means to claim romantic partners. Now, affection is fought for with fists, and relationships are forged in bruises and blood.
Seventeen-year-old Bell Ignis, known in the underground arena as The Heat Riser, doesn't believe in love. Raised in a post-crisis generation, he treats the law like a joke-until a mysterious girl, a cryptic prophecy, and a looming threat known only as The Snow of Artemis pull him into a battle far bigger than the next match. As Bell navigates broken hearts, buried secrets, and brutal fights, he must confront a terrifying truth: what if love was never meant to be kind?
With Love Comes Violence is a bold, unflinching debut that mixes dystopian satire, high-stakes action, and emotional reckoning. In a world where affection justifies assault and passion breeds power, the only question left is: can love survive what we've done to it?
