Drag me Down

*A BITW spin-off*

"Run, Pace. Run fast. Run far. Don't ever let him catch you."

×××

Pace has spent his entire life hidden away in a secluded cottage on the edge of Night gang territory, believing he was the son of Arken Night, the clan's ruthless leader. But when his mother dies, she leaves behind a devastating truth: Arken isn't his father-he's his captor. Obsessed with Pace's mother, Arken kidnapped them both when Pace was just a baby and kept them imprisoned under threat of death. Now, with his mother gone, Pace must flee before Arken makes good on his promise.

Hades Night, Arken's legitimate son, has long suspected his father's secret visits to the forbidden cottage conceal an affair. Determined to expose the truth, Hades storms the estate-only to find Pace mid-escape. Mistaking him for a secret brother and symbol of betrayal, Hades captures Pace, intent on revenge.

But captivity breeds revelation. As Hades unravels the twisted history behind Pace's existence, his hatred begins to blur into fascination. Bound by blood, lies, and the legacy of a man who destroyed them both, Hades and Pace must confront the darkness within-and the dangerous pull between them.

A tale of obsession, betrayal, and forbidden desire, this dark romance explores the thin line between vengeance and love, and what it means to find humanity in the most broken places.
