THE Y FACTOR

A royal princess of the criminal empire.

A fugitive known as the King of Spades.

A contract that promises one thing:

If death comes, it will take him first.

When Dheana Han's family is destroyed by a hidden traitor, she somehow knew she had to work alongside the one man who has been studying her in secret for nearly a year. Now you would've expected gun lessons, interrogation tips and tricks, maybe even how-to-hide-a-body tutorial. Unfortunately , not really .

Somewhat in between the chaos that has been embedded in them, he knows her coffee order, her trauma responses, the way she hides pain behind sarcasm, and oh not to forget, he would burn the world before letting it touch her.

The problem?

They are not lovers. They refuse to become lovers. And yet every act of loyalty between them feels dangerously close to something no label can contain.

As deepfakes spread, allies disappear, and the empire turns on itself, Dheana must decide who deserves her trust before the last person she cannot afford to lose is taken from her too.

Some relationships are built on romance.

Theirs is built on choosing each other when the world gives them every reason not to.
