In the underworld of 1950s New Orleans, power is currency and secrets are sharper than any blade. Elias Rave, the youngest and most enigmatic mafia heir to ever rule the city, hides a calculating mind beneath long silver hair and a calm, unreadable gaze. Untouchable. Unyielding. Until a ghost from the shadows begins to unravel his empire, piece by piece.
That ghost is Sylas D. Rook.
No longer the reckless young man driven by vengeance, Sylas has long buried the past to survive. But now, older and hardened, a new fire burns within him, not for blood, but for truth.
Fueled by the memory of a mother silenced by betrayal, Sylas returns, not to destroy, but to seek answers, to honor her legacy, and to finally understand the shadows that have haunted him for decades.
When predator meets predator, the lines blur. What begins as a pursuit of closure turns into a dangerous obsession neither man can escape or control.
As blades clash and secrets unravel, the owl and the raven are drawn together, like night to dawn, silence to whisper, death to rebirth. Enemies by blood. Bound by fate.
And when the owl finally sees the raven in the light… will he destroy him, or set him free?
