Raven Frost is an epitome of mystery who weaved a web of lies and held a million secrets within her. She had come to Shadowvale University to revel in life's bounty. But her very first day tripped out. Her one lie led to another, and then another, until all she had was a willow of lies that rooted within her. And the hot, cunning man she lied to had stuck to her life like branches to her tree. 

Alessandro Del Vecchio. 

The Lucifer's progeny. The one who rules Shadowvale, dressed in an expensive pressed suit, burying his darkness in the hollow space where his heart is supposed to be. All he ever intended was to hunt down the traitor who betrayed The Outfit. The plan was simple: find the culprit, and end their life. 

Until she stepped in. 

At the wrong time and wrong place, and she became his infatuation. His own little poison that he couldn't stop consuming even if it killed every bit of him. He was the addict and she was the addiction that intoxicated his already infected soul. 

An addiction that leads to his destruction. His demise and her victory.

Secrets. Betrayal. And passion. Tangled in the game of trust and lies, not everyone is who they say they are. 

Everyone wears masks in this masquerade of death. 

When the masks lift, who would be the last man standing...
