Six years ago, I craved death.

Hell felt like the only honest name for the life I was living.

Then he came.

I never expected my son to become my reason to breathe, but there he was, small and fragile, yet powerful enough to tether me to a world I had already given up on.

Raising him hasn’t been easy. He carries too much of his father in him—the coldness, the madness, the unsettling presence.

Sometimes, when he looks at me, I see a reflection of the man I wish I could forget. But I refuse to let that be his story. I will soften him. I will reshape him. I will love him into something gentler… something safe.

Years ago, I made blind, foolish choices that bound me to a man more beast than human, and that mistake is still woven into my past and breathing through my present.

Now, I only want to fulfill my own simple wishes;

Find my dad’s killer and kill him brutally, raise my son into a better man, and build a life that belongs solely to me—a life untouched by love, untouched by men.

Or at least… that was the plan.

Some found their names carved into whispers and fear.

Some clawed their way up, hands dripping with sins they could never wash clean.

But me?

I found my rebirth in a cage meant to break me.

Six years ago, I was tossed behind the cold metal gates of the Los Angeles penitentiary where I was jailed for a sin I didn’t commit.

But…

Jail wasn’t the end for me—it was my beginning.

Behind those walls, I sharpened my mind, learned skills I never imagined, and built connections that turned me into everything I once feared.

And now?

I’m back.

Not just to make my enemies pay…
but to protect the woman I love and waste the lives of whoever tries to cause her the slightest pain again…

No matter the cost.

I hate peace….it means I haven’t hurt anyone yet.

Everyone believed I returned to Australia and ended up in prison.

My half-sister made sure that lie spread like wildfire, preaching my downfall without shame.

But who was she really fooling?

It was never about my arrest.

It was about her failure cos she couldn’t get me after all.

Six years ago, I entered Australia like a soundless fly and stayed hidden in a territory beyond her sight.

There, I built something real; gathered intel, amassed power, sharpened every edge of my plans.

And then, at a ceremony no one expected me to attend… I arrived.

Not as a ghost from the past, but as the king I’ve always been.

The shock in her blind eyes?

Worth every second.

The blood I spilled?

Just the beginning.

Because I didn’t come back to only reclaim my throne.

I also came back to seize the unwanted seed who somehow survived my poison six years ago.

And to take back the woman who has always been mine.

This time… there are no second chances.

It’s either blood…

Or blood.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: I said in the beginning of the book one that it’s a dim book, but somehow, my corrupt, disobedient fingers wrote DARK.

Now here’s a warning that this book 2 might be sicker. Hold your reins very tight so you won’t fall

No character is a saint. Everyone’s got one blemish or another, reason why I called them NUANCED in the first book, and they’ll get badder.

Everyone has stronger purposes, wilder ambitions and insane drive. Don’t predict too much so you won’t get hurt when your predictions drown into oblivion.

With that being said, dive into book 2 with me.

Don’t dare miss out.
