Adder is, without question, one of the most formidable and enigmatic figures alive. His name alone is enough to send shivers down spines and halt conversations mid-sentence. His power is not simply feared-it is absolute. Unchallenged. Undefeated. Those who dare to speak against him rarely live long enough to regret it. He moves through the world like a shadow draped in silence and blood, a ghost crowned in violence.
He owns everything-and everyone-that he sets his sights on. There is nothing he desires that he does not possess, no obstacle that cannot be crushed beneath his heel. He clawed his way from obscurity to omnipotence, forging his legend in pain, ruthlessness, and unrelenting ambition. He is a king without a throne, a god without mercy.
And yet, despite all this... he lives haunted by the hollowness of his own existence. A phantom of a man buried beneath myth and menace. Few have seen his face. Even fewer have glimpsed the man behind the monster.
So how, then, could it be her-
A girl of such disarming purity, so achingly human-who shattered the most feared man on Earth?
Mirabelle, with her unyielding compassion, lived a life defined by gentleness. She fought for the voiceless, gave without expecting, and carried light into the darkest corners of the world. But the tragic death of her parents upended everything. Grief drove her and her brother to seek a new beginning in a place far removed from their past.
But what if that escape was merely the beginning of something far more dangerous?
What if fate-or something darker-wove their lives together through a chain of events too precise to be accidental?
As their worlds collide, the impossible begins to take shape: a love that defies logic, morality, and every rule Adder has ever lived by. In her presence, the beast stirs and the man begins to remember what it means to feel.
