In a city where power is everything, Luna finds herself bound to the enigmatic and feared Adrian Vayne, a man whose reputation is as dark as the secret he keeps. When Luna's family's life is gambled away in a desperate bet, Luna is forced into an arrangement with Adrian: more like a loyal puppet, she'll serve him in his world of his chaos and dominance and in return, he'll spare her family from ruin. But as she depicts more about his world, the line between savior and captor blurs. Addrian's darkness hides an unexpected vulnerability lying underneath and despite all her heart becomes the most dangerous gamble of all.
