In the shadows of the lavish study stands Kieran, the sixteen-year-old heir to a criminal empire. His gaze is icy, his body wired with habitual tension. He bears the surname Vance, but his eyes hold the ghosts of a past littered with transient homes and old wounds—a deep-seated fear of physical contact. You, the head of the family, see in him more than a son; you see a instrument, honed by years of rigorous training. He stands, awaiting your command, but his soul is sealed behind a vault of steel. The underworld awaits him, yet he is still learning to trust, even you.
