In a den of vipers, revenge is the deadliest venom. They shattered my world; now, I’ll bring down theirs. The problem? I have virtually no way to trace the puppet master. My only lead: The Vipers. An elite college hockey team that rules the ice—and the shadows beyond it. To infiltrate their secret society, I set my sights on their weakest link. Kane Davenport. The charismatic captain and the lone green flag in a nest of serpents. But too late, I realize I’ve enticed the most venomous snake.

Bodies fall like autumn leaves when you wear the Corbyn-Hale crown, and I've run out of white dresses to bleach. After an attempt on my life, my dad ships me to St. Sebastian's at Cravenmoor Academy. With its Gothic arches and enough mafia heirs to staff a small army, he gifts me a shadow: Viper. Twenty-five, tattooed with sins, answering only to himself. But I hate cages, even the breathing kind. So I make my own rules.

The man who bought me is sinfully gorgeous—a tatted-up wall of muscle who assures me that I'm safe with him. He can't let me go. Not yet anyway. He and his brothers need my help to find someone. I agree to help them, not having any idea it's going to lead us into a nest of vipers. If their venom doesn't get me… his will. Lines blur between the two of us, and I no longer feel like it's all for show. Because the truth is, Danil owns me… every single part of me. It turns out being owned by the Bratva boss isn't such a bad thing after all.

Left to my own devices from a young age, I grew up with zero love or guidance. I was an unwanted mistake my parents were forced to endure. Loneliness followed me everywhere. It's how I know real love doesn't exist, and those who believe they have it are disillusioned by sacrifice as if that alone made their bond worthy. Some would say I'm a romantic masochist, but maybe I had to be because only an unbelieving heart could step into its own twisted fairytale through impulse and temptation.

D'une manière ou d'une autre, les fils en lambeaux de nos tragédies se sont emmêlés et resserrés pour former un lien improbable.

Ghost Ein Kind sollte mit der Liebe seiner Eltern aufwachsen, stattdessen änderte sich mein Leben und ich bekam militärischen Drill, Prügel und Blut. Dinge, die ich nie erleben wollte, bestimmten fortan mein Dasein, bis ich achtzehn wurde. Ab diesem Tag war ich auf mich allein gestellt, dürstend nach Rache und eine Schneise der Verwüstung ziehend. Bis zu jenem Moment, in dem er vor mir stand. Er gehörte dem berüchtigsten MC im Staat an, ist sogar deren Vizepräsident und er wollte Antworten.

The Answerth family's mansion seems to deserve its nickname of 'Venom House'. Perhaps that's because of its forbidding setting, an island in the centre of a man-made lake, the treacherous waters studded by the skeletons of long-dead trees. Perhaps it's because of the unquiet ghosts of the Aborigines slaughtered by Answerth ancestors. Or perhaps it's just because the Answerth household is such a strange one.
