**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** Valerie is lost. There's no other way to put it. Littered with scars both in and out, she stumbles blindly through a life with no direction or purpose. She is a blank slate with no past, and barely any hopes for the future as she begins her new life in New Elysium, the 'City of Promise'. But if there's one thing she knows for certain, it's that promises are nothing more than comforting lies, used to ensure complacency in those too blind to see the bloody truths behind them. Truths that, as she starts to uncover them, hit far too close to home. And when she catches the attention of 3 terrifyingly powerful men, what little comfort she found in her life of solitude secrets is shattered and the unrelenting reality of her past begins to creep ever closer no matter how fast she runs. A story of hatred, fear and dark desire begins to unwind around them; forcing the demons they tried to hide to the surface as they push each other to their limits. For the first time in their lives, they are forced to feel. But maybe, just maybe. Their jagged, broken parts can form a whole. **THIS STORY CONTAINS MENTIONS OF ABUSE AND TRAUMA AS WELL AS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT**
