What happens when a bloody beast finds the bride of light in the land of death? Growing up on the streets of Los Fortis, Alessandro "Alpha" Villanov fought his way to the top, struggling to survive and losing everything along the way. The city that rejected him then is now the city he rules, albeit alone, as the king of a dark empire that few know about. Far from the world of Alpha, Zephyr de la Vega has an ordinary life, an ordinary family, an ordinary drama. Her main problem is people trying to force her to lose a few pounds. When a chance meeting puts her in his path, she makes a proposal that changes the course of their lives. As an assassin raids Alpha's city, destroying his scarred empire body by body, and the Syndicate comes into play, their partnership grows into something deeper, more lasting, more powerful than either of them imagined. Evil is rising. Darkness falls. A new order is born.
