But when Mia is brutally murdered and raped, Raya's life spirals into a deadly obsession for revenge. Cold, calculating, and unyielding, she vows to bring justice to those responsible, even if it means becoming a monster herself. The only light left in Raya's shattered world is Valen-her childhood friend and the boy she's secretly loved for as long as she can remember. But Raya has always believed her love was one-sided, that Valen saw her as nothing more than a friend. What she doesn't know is that Valen has loved her fiercely from the shadows, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her. As Raya descends into the dark underworld to avenge Mia , Valen is there at every turn, watching, waiting, and guarding her from her own self-destruction.

In a world where blood and betrayal rule, will Raya find her heart before it's too late-or will her thirst for revenge consume them both? ---
