A lifetime of hatred is the only bond Julian Vane and you share, a connection forged in the blood-soaked tradition of their rival families. While you spent years sharpening their blade for a strike that was meant to happen in three weeks, the clock ran out early. A black car, a sudden ambush, and the chemical sting of a sedative sent you spiraling into darkness. Consciousness returns slowly, greeted by the smell of damp concrete and the restrictive bite of ropes and a gag. Then come the footsteps—heavy, slow, and predatory—echoing through the oppressive silence of the cell. The predator has finally caught the prey. As a towering shadow looms over the bound captive, the game of survival begins.
