Dive into the chilling world of Julian de Vries, where murder is an art form and hearts are his chosen canvas. The Art of Breaking Hearts is the explosive fourth installment in the bestselling Love and Terror series, a psychological thriller that will leave you breathless and desperate for the final chapter.

Maya, a brilliant artist once ensnared by Julian's charismatic darkness, now works with the FBI to bring him down. But Julian is always one step ahead. He isn't just a killer; he's a visionary who auctions his gruesome talents to the highest bidder among the world's elite, turning death into a perverse performance.

When his manipulated apprentice tries to expose him, he becomes Julian's next masterpiece—a taunting message staged in blood for Maya alone. Driven to the edge, Maya realizes she can no longer think like a cop. To predict his next move, she must immerse herself in his twisted artistic vision, to understand the beauty he sees in the silence of a broken life. She must prepare her own heart to break.

The hunt leads to a hidden gallery of ghosts—a secret room where Julian's crimes are immortalized as macabre art. His ultimate plan is revealed: to force Maya into becoming his co-creator in a terrifying public spectacle, blurring the line between hunter and prey forever.

This cat-and-mouse game culminates in a tense, bloody confrontation. Julian escapes, but not before leaving behind a single, crucial clue: a bloody fingerprint. It's his signature, and a promise that the game is far from over.
