Riuscirà un amore tormentato a sopravvivere a ogni tempesta del cuore? Dopo tanta burrasca, finalmente Selene e Neil sono riusciti a costruirsi una vita insieme. Tra le mura della villa da sogno in cui abitano, sono sia genitori affettuosi e presenti per i loro due figli, Nicole e Julian, sia amanti passionali e ardenti, ancora calamitati l'uno all'altra come il primo giorno.

Quale sarà il finale della principessa e del cavaliere oscuro? Dopo l'ultimo attacco di Player 2511, Neil è sempre più sotto pressione ed è costretto a cogliere anche il più piccolo indizio del vendicatore mascherato che minaccia la sua famiglia e Selene, con la quale ha una relazione altalenante: da un lato, infatti, il ragazzo si rende conto che con lei sta nascendo un legame unico e indissolubile; dall'altro, teme che il suo passato doloroso possa impedirle di vivere una vita piena e soddisfacente.

Erótica y muerte, las dos caras de la alianza invisible.

En el canto I de la Ilíada, Apolo envía una plaga de peste al campo griego porque Agamenón ha secuestrado a la hermosa Criseida, y la guerra en fin, ha tenido por causa principal una pasión amorosa. Durante las sucesivas epidemias a lo largo de la historia, la sexualidad desafía a la muerte.

I woke to the soothing sound of a peaceful serenade...except there’s nothing peaceful about being kidnapped after being sold to the Devils of Sin.
