Betrayal is the only truth, and tyrants are gods and martyrs.

In a world of prestige and darkness, dictated by the Triad—a formidable alliance of crime families wielding power through cruelty and bloodshed—adapting is not a choice; it's my only means of survival.

But the most formidable challenge is the man who reigns above us all.

His reputation precedes him.

He is said to be ruthless and sadistic, an entity of darkness.

A beautiful monster masterfully playing human.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

He's far more terrifying.

And in the cruelest twist of fate, I've become his.

This is the prequel to the upcoming Maelstrom Duology, a dark mafia romance with romantasy elements. Some content may be upsetting or triggering. A TW has been included in each book and entails what can be expected throughout the duet. Reader Discretion is highly advised.
