They say the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I'm starting to think they lied. My name used to be Lily, dreaming about the future, and staying loyal to my loved ones, but now I am just a body.

I traded Alberto's cage for Killian's mansion, hoping to get free. Now, one stolen kiss and a glimpse into Killian's darkness have me questioning everything, even my sanity after being in the hands of monsters—humans with no soul.

I let myself believe in a new hope, a kind of new home. But how? I wanted to think about a fresh start, but escape is the only hope that seems to be my only survival now. All small comfort has been taken from me, replaced by the chilling truth: Killian is everything Alberto was... and far more dangerous.

With Killian fighting his secret from the past, I'm stuck. Do I give in to the monster or fight to escape? I have to find a way to avoid the war. Will I turn into what I fear, or find the strength to fight his shadows that want to destroy me?
