Summary
After his humiliation at the UNESCO conference in Denmark, Ryland Grace loses everything. Homeless and without a job, a mixture of pride and shame stops him from approaching his estranged twin Colt Seavers, who "probably has enough on his plate post-accident to worry about his good-for-nothing brother."
At his most vulnerable, he gets recruited by the Eden Institute, a cult masquerading as an independent research facility. There, he meets Simon, and the rest is history.
Eden teaches him how to love and, ultimately, how to protect yourself and those you love. Whatever means necessary.
OR:
The result of asking: "How can we make Ryland Grace a toxic yaoi protagonist without making him too out-of-character?"
Answer: Give him a fucked up backstory.
A prequel to a greater madness.
