Blackhaven doesn't forgive weakness. Adrian Vale knows what it's like to have nothing. At twenty-two, all he wants is enough money to take care of his mother and escape the Hollow—the poorest district of Blackhaven. Then a missing shipment changes everything. What Adrian believes is a simple mistake leads him into a world of hidden records, powerful men, and secrets that were never meant to be discovered. And at the center of it all stands Victor DeLuca. Victor sees something in Adrian. Something dangerous. Something worth cultivating. But Adrian's greatest weakness may not be his curiosity. It may be the woman he loves. Elena is closer to the DeLuca empire than Adrian realizes, and when everything finally falls apart, Adrian will discover that the people he trusted most were the ones who knew exactly how to destroy him. Years later, he returns to Blackhaven. Not as the desperate young man who left. But as something far more dangerous. A man with nothing left to lose.
