8 years ago, my stepbrothers disappeared.

In a world that left us for dead from the day we were born, Cynthian and Elias were my sanctuary amidst life's cruel chaos. Without them, I am haunted. They are the lost specters wandering the corridors of my mind. Their phantom touches linger on my soul, the scorching brand of their love seared into my skin. I can't let them go. I will never know peace until I discover what happened to them. Now finally reunited, our freedom and our lives hang in the balance, trapped in a deadly game. My stepbrothers have changed, but so have I. The once-tender threads of affection connecting our hearts have been forged into iron chains. The innocence of our younger years has been lost, warped into something sinister and pitch-black. I'm afraid, yet I can't stop wanting them. And it seems after years of secret pining in my youth, Cyn and Eli want me, too. But am I truly ready to become their plaything and satisfy the dangerous urges of my villainous stepbrothers?

Skrain

It took a century and a deal with a demon to find her, but my wife doesn't remember me.

While I watch her from the shadows, I fall for Kerys all over again. She will come home with me—by choice or by force.

Her death taught me that I'm lost without her. My wealth and my influence are meaningless without her. I'm an empty shell of a man without her love, and only she can make my cold heart of thorns bloom.

I'll stop atnothing to remind her who she belongs to.

My wife will be mine once more, and this time, no power in this realm can separate us.

Keryssa

When a mysterious, rich client requests my company for a single night of lavish debauchery, he shatters my world like glass, sold to me as a shimmering jewel.

This irresistible stranger wants more than just my body.

Suddenly, I find myself as his prisoner in a foreign land across the sea. He calls me by another name, claims me as his wife.

It's absurd, but I can't stop wanting him. I can't stop seeking the truth behind his charming smile.

Who am I really … and who is Skrain to me?
