"Moral wounds have this peculiarity- they may be hidden, but they never close; always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain fresh and open in the heart." ~ Alexandre Dumas

Lucas was innocent, never tainted, until his secret got out. Those meant to protect him and cherish him hurting him in ways unexpectedly. Breaking him to a full shell of pain and darkness. But what happens when someone whispers in his ears words of hope? Of something more?

The Count was a myth. No one knew him yet he was everywhere. Powerful, strong, and the master of strings. Etching a web so complex, he could do whatever he wanted. But his life was a mystery, full of wounds, and black. Mystery clouding every choice, but what happens when he gets a hold of Lucas? Was his heart truly frozen or will it beat again, and against Lucas?
