Epilogue : The Boy in Wonderland

They saved his body. No one asked what was left of his soul.

Ren spent years trapped in the hands of men who stripped him of his name, his choices, and his future. When Hades Nazario tears him from that life, Ren expects freedom-but finds himself in a new kind of cage, this time lined with silence, power, and secrets.

Haunted by his past and reshaped by pain, Ren tries to rebuild himself in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. The only thing that feels real is Hades-the guarded heir of a criminal empire, the one man who sees him as more than what was done to him.

But love is dangerous. And nothing in this world is free.

By the time Ren learns the cost, it's already too late.
