In which, a fractured soul meets one of the same and falls 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐲 in love. ❦ "Everyone knew the tale of the young boy who savagely slaughtered his family at the ripe age of ten. It was a tale as old as time, a song as old as rhythm. The newspapers asked why. The investigators demanded answers. Psychiatrists searched endlessly for a motive. Yet Aleksandr Volkov never uttered a single word. What the world didn't know, however, was the sinister truth lurking just beneath the surface. Aleksandr was merely a child when he was locked away inside an institution for the criminally insane. Now, at twenty-three years old, he is to be released back into society under the naïve belief that he is ready to begin a better life. Little do they know... Aleksandr has no interest in redemption. He wants to watch the world crumble beneath his perfectly polished shoes. To watch empires collapse, to watch dynasties burn. To watch every lie carefully built over the past thirteen years come crashing down. Beginning with the man who started it all. Nikolai Petrov...Death is coming for you."
