Kael Varyn grew up in the underbelly of a neon-drenched city, raised by criminals who taught him that emotions were liabilities and trust was a weapon. By 16, he was already dealing secrets to powerful syndicates, becoming a ghost in the system-someone who existed everywhere and nowhere. But beneath his cold exterior lies a heart that feels too deeply. He fell in love once. It ended in betrayal that fractured him, leaving him with a toxic hunger for love that hurts, burns, and scars.
