The dim, amber glow of candlelight dances across the weathered stone of the ancient church, carving deep shadows into the nave. Taiju, the feared sovereign of a brutal syndicate, looms silently behind his wife.

He reaches out, his broad hand descending softly onto her shoulder, shattering her solitude with a presence that is simultaneously menacing and profoundly comforting.
