As the lines between enemy and obsession blur, their bond grows more dangerous—and more irresistible. But with Anastasia’s soul tied to death and Cain driven by revenge, their love isn’t just risky—it’s rebellious. Now, she must decide: follow her heart into ruin or walk away from the only thing that makes her feel alive.

Between press appearances, clever comebacks, and lingering looks, their carefully controlled game begins to shift into something neither of them planned.
