"One moment can change it all." 
Something all of us hear but never take into consideration. Like a normal morning, getting ready for college, instantly turning into something that will change your entire life by the evening. 

When a serial killer strikes the breathtaking city of Onyxdale, tearing apart people and lives, Iris Ortega and her friends' lives change drastically, as they get to know the true colors of those around them and the real identities of each other. The criminal-unknown, just as it's motives are. His movement, however, silent as the sea.

After slaughtering victims brutally, this anonymous carves a mark on the body of each of its victims, then vanishing without a who or why. Possibly returning with greater danger, to anyone around them?
Amid the turmoil and twists, they face the unexpected, from being blackmailed by the unknown to being exposed to the corrupt minds of Onyxdale. Everything will be accounted for, but at what cost?

With the fact that nobody can be trusted except each other, how will they overcome their huge differences and past issues to band together against the upper force? 
A coming of age tale exploring the bitter taste of growing up, the beauty of friendship and love, all in the midst of terrorizing chaos.

"You were ours the moment I laid eyes on you," he stated, his voice low and commanding, the kind of certainty that left no room for doubt. His gaze bore into me, as if claiming me without a single word more. The truth was, I didn't need to argue or question him, because deep down, I knew he was right. I was theirs. My body, my mind, everything about me had already been marked-consumed by them the instant our paths crossed. - Zarina never imagined her life tangling with the underworld, let alone with three of its most dangerous men. One moment, she's balancing college and a barista job. The next, she's stepping into a world where control is absolute, pleasure is edged with pain, and submission is anything but weakness. Xavier Bianchi, Kieran Sullivan, and Grayden Reznov-ruthless, dominant, and accustomed to getting what they want. And now, they want her. Her world shifts the moment she enters Crimson Abyss, New York City's most exclusive and decadent club. A place where power and desire blur, where surrender is not just given-it's taken. Every glance, every touch, every command pulls her deeper, testing limits she never knew she had. Here, trust is dangerous, control is intoxicating, and once she gives in... there's no turning back. - "Is this body aching for our touch?" His voice was thick with desire, low and possessive. He leaned in, his breath hot against my skin as his fingers brushed dangerously close to where I craved it most. "Do you want us to make you beg for release? Tell me, baby. I can make you feel everything you've been dying for." - This story contains mature themes, including BDSM, dominance, power struggles, and dark romance.
