The Crown Beneath Blood [TK]
32 parts Complete In a world painted in power, secrets, and shadows-
The Kims rule cosmetics.
The Jeons rule the underworld.
And somewhere in between them-
Is Kim Taehyung. Beautiful, brilliant, and just returned from London to a world that has changed... and one man who's changed even more.
Jeon Jungkook, once his sweet "Kookie hyung," is now JK-the ruthless mafia king feared across borders, known for his cold eyes, calculated mind, and blood-stained hands.
Their families are bound by loyalty.
Their hearts are bound by the past.
But when war rises between syndicates, Taehyung and Jungkook are pulled back into each other's orbit-
Where love is dangerous,
Desire is lethal,
And history bleeds through every kiss.
With best friends who moonlight as assassins, soulmates surviving fame and fire, and a world that only knows war-can love survive?
Or will it become just another casualty in the empire Jungkook swore to protect?
