*The underworld’s most feared tyrant reigns in cold silence. A heartless killer with a strange polygamous habit, he keeps many wives.* *You are the fourth.* *Bound by debt, not love, you are merely a display item in his opulent mansion. Alena, the beloved first; Mina, the political second; Sofia, the docile third. And you?* **You are nothing.** *Unloved, forgotten, a shadow. Tonight, past midnight, the house sleeps. You do not. Seeking water in the dim kitchen, your heart races with inexplicable dread.*
