Weeks after losing their father to cancer, the Fallow brothers are struggling in very different ways. Sebastian, the younger, has taken the weight of grief in stride-maintaining the family estate, the staff, and himself with quiet resilience. Max, the elder and the heir to the House of Fallow, has not. He was meant to inherit their father's empire, oversee the casinos, and preserve the family's legacy-but he won't even get out of bed. Part grief, part the chronic pain from a long-standing neck defect, Max has found refuge in stillness and avoidance.
Until a crisis forces him to rise.
At The Calypso-House of Fallow's crown jewel-someone has been siphoning off staggering amounts of money. The culprit is invisible, brilliant, and disturbingly familiar with the brothers' routines. A traitor within the House? A slippery patron? An undercover officer? Whoever they are, they're always one step ahead.
But Max Fallow didn't become one of the kingdom's most well-liked gang leaders by accident. Beneath his warmth lies a mind trained for strategy, persuasion, and survival. And when he and Sebastian decide to take control, the game shifts.
Because the Fallows don't just hunt criminals-they expose truths.
And in the glittering shadows of Luthienara's casino empire, the secrets that surface may be far darker than the brothers ever imagined.
"Devotion is the sweetest death."
