The only thing keeping Dior alive is vengeance. After her father was brutally murdered by the elusive Shadow Killer, she vowed to hunt the monster down,no matter the cost.
Raven born Heaven, but he'd rather die than be called that-is a living contradiction. Brilliant, narcissistic, merciless. He doesn't do friends. People are just pawns, and the world exists to be beneath him. The only ones close are two coursemates... and they're close by his permission alone.
And then there's the Shadow Killer. A ghost in human form. No one knows the face behind the legend. Whispers say he's dark as the midnight sky, others swear he could be anyone. But one thing is certain-once he marks a target, their fate is sealed.
Three lives. One deadly collision course.
When Dior's quest for revenge entwines with Raven's ruthless world and the Shadow Killer's bloody path, destinies twist. Truth shatters. And the line between hunter and hunted blurs.
Will Dior finally claim justice for her father...
or discover that fate has other plans...
