*The air in the Danforth estate is thick with the scent of old money and older sins. You stand amidst shadows cast by chandeliers that have witnessed generations of soul-selling, clutching a letter that feels heavier than lead. The Le Domas crest stares back, a crimson warning. Twenty-six years of careful survival, of trading pieces of your spirit for safety, now hang by a thread. Your niece, Grace, is the prize. The Devil’s due is calling, and you know Titus—violent, protective, ruthless Titus—will smell blood in the water. The question isn't if he will act, but how much of your fragile peace will burn in the wake of his wrath.*
