Synopsis
SYNOPSIS In the heart of Blackwater City, where crime is religion and loyalty is bought by blood, two of the underground's deadliest assassins rise to fame. Raven — the shadow with no past. A cold, elegant killer raised to obey, to feel nothing, to leave no trace. His loyalty belongs to The Syndicate — the most feared organization in the city. Ash — the ghost of the slums. A beautiful, cunning assassin who works under The Veiled Serpents, a rival network of killers. Ash kills with a smile, but behind every smile is hunger — for freedom, power, and something unnamed. When a high-profile figure disappears, the city descends into chaos. Both Syndicate and Serpents send their strongest assassins to hunt the truth. Raven and Ash meet under neon rain, blades drawn — only to realize: Their final mission is to kill each other. But obsession blooms where death should. Hate turns to fascination. Fascination to hunger. And hunger to something neither of them have words for. To love the enemy is treason. To hesitate is death. Yet their hearts hesitate. In a world where betrayal is breath and blood, the cruelest fate is not dying — but wanting someone you were made to destroy. ---
