Julian è sfuggito alla morte diventando un vampiro, ma la maledizione di un'eternità di sangue l'ha messo in catene. James è sfuggito alla morte diventando un demone, ma la morte gli è comunque rimasta dentro e lo segue in ogni dove da quando è tornato dall'inferno. I cuori di entrambi vivono in un passato da dimenticare, i corpi si muovono in un presente in bilico tra vizi e virtù. Jago, burattinaio inarrestabile, ha sete di vendetta e niente gli impedirà di ottenerla: Julian è il suo antagonista da annientare e James un mero strumento da piegare.

Walter Eekhaut, a veteran of the Belgian police force who has a problem with authority, is dispatched to Amsterdam to aid the Dutch security service in investigating the activities of a well-connected Russian oligarch, with ties to Putin. Some of the Russian's business is legitimate, but some may well not be. In Amsterdam, Eekhaut is seconded to Chief Superintendent Alexandra Dewaal and her team, and begins to learn about the city's shady underside.

I ran as fast as I could, escaping the monster, escaping my personal hell. I wanted freedom, a ray of precious sunlight, yet all I found was darkness. Pitch black consuming darkness. That's until an opportunity arrived, maybe the most dangerous of them all, but the only one that could save me—The Pleasure Room. Heaven and hell dancing in mesmerizing circles.

They broke me. Now I'm theirs to fix. And who is to say I didn't break them harder? They are mine now in a wicked game of destiny to convert anger into passion. Lies, lust, and madness intertwined into something so twistedly perfect. My fears were replaced by desire, and my morality by sinful cravings. I am as f--ked up as they are, loving and living for their games the same way they all live for me. I wanted them as much as they wanted me, but most of all, we wanted revenge.

They've been surrounded by darkness. But the time has come for you to step into their world. Take a glimpse into the kings' minds from the beginning and follow the story from their POV.

I was weak, but now I am strong. I was mistreated, and it is time they have a taste of their own poisons. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's exactly where they sent me—to hell. But I came back being a devil myself. It's not about revenge—it's about getting my kings to seek redemption. The pieces they have broken may not have rearranged themselves exactly as they wanted, creating something far more dangerous than they've ever planned for—a queen seeking her Kings of Seduction!
