    Summary

    It’s August 2014, and Sebastian is barely holding his life together. His wife is gone, his daughter is dead, and he’s been removed from KCPD’s Homicide division. An opportunity presents itself in the form of sex worker-turned-informant Stefano Valentini- an opportunity to solve the biggest case in Krimson City’s history and learn the truth about what happened to Sebastian’s family. But the roots of this case run deeper than Sebastian could ever have imagined, and when KCPD backs out, Stefano may be the only one he can trust.

    [A retelling of TEW1 with some significant departures from canon. Drug use, sex work, and human trafficking are major themes. Non-con/dub-con warnings due to sexual acts that occur in the context of drugged sex and human trafficking. Chapters 1-17 are more of a police/drama, transitioning into action/adventure/horror in Chapters 18-35 and romance/recovery in 36-50.]
