Ruins of the Fallen

Zenesis #4 (R21) | on-going

Elias Zacarias was born into a legacy, raised by men who taught him that power is inherited and that women are best kept silent, obedient, or gone. As heir to an empire built on tradition, he has lived with purpose. His world is clean. He doesn't touch what's already broken until she steps into his sight.

Monica Angeles was never meant to be seen again. Born into prestige and unmade by disgrace, she's learned how to disappear in plain sight. With nowhere else to run, Monica takes a job that promises nothing except survival.

What begins as disdain turns into obsession. What should have been distance becomes proximity. Is it still survival if you find comfort in the ruins... or have you simply learned how to live broken?
