THE DEVIL'S HEIR [PONDPHUWIN]

Bangkok has two kinds of people.

Those who fear the law.

And those who understand that the law fears them.

Pond Naravit never needed a crown to rule.

His name was enough.

At twenty eight, he controlled the most powerful criminal empire in Bangkok, inherited from a father whose body was still warm when Pond took his throne. Drug routes, underground casinos, weapons, politicians, corrupt police officers and men willing to kill without asking questions all answered to him.

He was cold.

Calculated.

Untouchable.

Until Phuwin walked into his territory.

Phuwin Tangsakyuen was supposed to be nothing more than the spoiled heir of a rival family.

Beautiful enough to distract.

Arrogant enough to irritate.

Dangerous enough to survive.

What Pond did not know was that Phuwin had spent years preparing for the day his own family would collapse.

He was not running from the mafia.

He was coming for it.

When a massacre destroys the fragile balance between Bangkok's five most powerful crime families, Pond discovers that someone inside his organization has been feeding information to his enemies.

Then he finds Phuwin standing in the middle of the bloodshed.

With a gun in his hand.

A dead man at his feet.

And Pond's stolen ledger tucked inside his coat.

Phuwin should have been executed.

Instead, Pond takes him home.

Not as a prisoner.

Not as an ally.

As his possession.

Because someone has placed a target on Phuwin's back.

And Pond intends to find out who.

But the closer they get, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

The war was never about territory.

It was never about money.

Someone has been manipulating both families for years.

And the person Pond trusts the least might be the only person capable of stagline

he was supposed to kill the enemy. instead, he became addicted to protecting him.
