Summary
Leon Scott Kennedy does not remember the night he was born, only the story told to him over and over in the quietest hours of the night: that he was left nameless in the freezing frost of Verona, abandoned to die before he ever had the chance to live.
He should have frozen there.
Instead, he was found by Henri Barone-Kennedy — an omega homicide detective with tired hazel eyes, a soft mouth, and arms warm enough to convince a dying baby to stay. Alongside his husband, Captain Luciano Sergio Kennedy, Henri raises the child no one wanted into the man who will one day carry the Kennedy name like it was always meant to be his.
Told entirely through Leon’s eyes, from childhood to the late years of Resident Evil 9, this is the story of a boy born unwanted, the family that loved him anyway, and the life that shaped him into something sharp, scarred, loyal, and still aching to be held.
A story about abandonment, found family, survival, grief, love, and becoming.
