Years ago, YN lost everything the night her father was betrayed - sold out to the Squid Games by a man they once trusted. That man was her father's closest friend... and YN's childhood protector. Now, years later, YN is forced into the deadly arena herself. But behind the blood-red walls and twisted games, a masked officer watches her every move - the same man who once held her hand as a child... and destroyed her family.
He's no longer the man she knew. Cold, calculated, and cruel - a high-ranking manager in the games, hiding behind a black mask and a darker past. But as secrets unravel, and their paths cross in stolen moments, something begins to burn between them. Obsession. Regret. Desire. And something far more dangerous.
Can love bloom in a place built on death? Or will YN become just another player in his game?
Dark. Twisted. Addictive.
In the world of the Squid Games, trust is fatal - but love may be worse.
