Vengeance made him a weapon. Love made him human. Tragedy made him something else entirely. Haunted by the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of Roman Torchwick, you've spent your life walking a path paved with blood. Feared for the dark, uncontrollable power that lives within you, the world has cast you aside-hated, lied to, and left to burn in your own rage. But fate has other plans. Everything changes when you meet her-a red-haired girl with a warrior's strength and a heart full of light. She sees something in you that no one else ever dared to: hope. With her, you begin to believe there's more to life than revenge. That maybe, just maybe, you can be saved. But happiness is short-lived in a world built on shattered dreams.
