London, 1876.
Edward Lancaster believed in justice.
He spent his days fighting the poison of crime that rotted the city's heart - never knowing the blood running through his own veins was just as tainted.
One mistake. One case. One shattered empire.
When Edward unknowingly helps dismantle part of Silas criminal empire, he signs his own death warrant. His half-brother, the most feared man in London, does not forgive betrayal - even accidental.
Captured, imprisoned, and stripped of the illusions he once clung to, Edward faces a truth far more terrifying than any courtroom battle:
His brother never wanted justice.
He wanted Edward.
A life worst than any hell or prison where no law can reach him, Edward must fight to survive not just the darkness around him - but this forbidden desire and as well his feelings creeping into his own heart.
Blood is thicker than water.
But it can drown you just the same.
