Části: 8 Průběžné Pro dospěléThey say he's beyond saving-cold, unhinged, a monster in human skin. Locked away in Ravenson Asylum, 𝙆𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙨 has spent years in the dark, his mind sharpened into a weapon, his heart a thing of the past. Emotionless. Calculating. Predatory. The world believes it owns him, that he'll die behind these walls. But he knows better. He's been waiting. Watching. And now, it's time to escape.
The night before his execution, he offers her a choice.
"Come with me, or stay behind. But if you stay, you'll never see me again."
𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙝𝙩𝙖 should say no. Should run. Should turn her back on the man who watches her like she's his next breath, who speaks in a voice that slips under her skin like a promise. But she doesn't. She's spent too long studying the wreckage of his mind, tracing the scars he doesn't let the world see. There's something inside him- something human, something hers. And maybe she's just as mad as they say he is, because she takes his hand... and never looks back.
A stolen ship. A week at sea. A secluded island where the rest of the world doesn't exist. Here, he is no longer their prisoner-but he's still not free. His past is hunting him, and if he doesn't kill the ghosts that haunt him, they will destroy them both.
But the real danger isn't the blood on his hands. It's what happens when he finally lets himself feel. Because she's his now. And Kieran Hayes does not know how to love without obsession, without destruction, without ruin.
She saved him once. But can she save herself from him?
