48 parts Ongoing MatureThe great love stories are written in blood and tainted by war.
Enemies in a city soaked in violence, where every kiss could be a goodbye and every heartbeat echoes like a countdown, love is a battlefield. They were doomed from the start. But some tragedies are too beautiful to end quietly.
August Hellington is a young god made of art, eccentricity, and money. A tender kind of chaos wrapped in velvet rage and cigarette smoke, lost in his obsession with violence, gore, and death. He hides in carved poetry, offering the world his pain in knives and kisses. He is a doomed sun, but he is determined to burn in pleasure and ecstasy. Fighting.
Vilen Tereshkov was born to kill gods. A monster molded in shadows and loyalty, taught that love is weakness and lust is danger. The Marchand of Death, with blood-stained hands and a mind so wary that all tenderness feels like a threat.
But when August sets his sights on him, the war begins to feel like a dance. A romance so fierce, so deranged, so achingly tender, it splits Vilen open and makes him bleed.
Love is a battle painted crimson. And some hearts are too wild to survive it.
