***
Varen Crowther is an enforcer who rules the crime lords and the cartels of the world for the dark sect known as The Horned Gods. Brutal and wild, he's the heir to Lower House Crowther. A position he never wanted and one he earned through tragic circumstances.
Tabitha is just a servant to high-ranking families, someone seen but never noticed. Except by Varen. And while Tabitha is planning a heist to save her cursed aunt, Varen is already at work stealing her heart, leaving her torn.
She must decide between giving in to the passion building between them or saving her aunt. And much worse, an awful dread begins to grow that she had a part to play in his brother's death. A truth that will not only shatter Varen but unleash devastation upon the world of Houses.
