    Summary

    William is a weapon-a man who has spent his entire life in the shadows of a city ruled by fear. He is cold, detached, and perfectly comfortable in the violence of the criminal underworld.

    Est is the light he never thought he would find. A kindergarten teacher defined by his stubborn kindness and chaotic warmth, Est sees past the monster William believes himself to be. In a world of predators, they find a fragile sanctuary in each other.

    But their love is a provocation to the shadows.

    When a calculated, unseen enemy decides to shatter the peace they've built, the life they fought for is torn apart. In the aftermath of a brutal tragedy, the roles shift: the protector must become a monster once more, and the survivor must learn how to exist in a world that no longer feels safe.
