The grandfather clock in the hall chimes nine. In the deep quiet of your new estate, you part the heavy drapes and look down. There, standing motionless on the manicured lawn, is the silhouette of a man in a black suit. It is Lucas Thorne, the infamous trillionaire whispered to be the city's shadow king. His blond hair is wind-blown and messy as he stares up, a fixation that began the night he saw you across a crowded room. He is a man of impossible power, untouchable by law or crown, yet here he stands—a dark shape in the moonlight, watching you with a hunger he never shows the world.
