AURELIAShe is light...I was abandoned as a baby, left at the gates of a convent.Raised by Reverend Sisters, I spent all twenty-three years of my life within those walls. I studied there. I lived there. I never stepped outside... until six months ago.When I told Sister Patricia I wanted to leave, she was scared. I'd never been on my own before.But I needed to find out who I was, outside the convent.Now, I live in a small, quiet town. Life is simple. Peaceful.Until he showed up.The scariest man I’ve ever seen.The way he looks at me? I don’t understand it, but it sends shivers down my spine.Who is he?What does he want from me? ZAIREHe is darkness...I’m not the hero of this story. I’m the villain.You can call me Zaire. Or Zai. I don’t care.I’m a killer. Born and trained. In the underground world, they call me “The Killer Machine”.I don’t pretend to be good. I don’t want redemption. I don’t even believe in forgiveness.There’s no light in me, only shadows and blood.But the moment I saw her...Everything changed.Aurelia.My fascination.My light.Two opposites. One dangerous connection.What happens when darkness becomes obsessed with light?
