Klein Marcellan has spent ten long years chasing a ghost. The ruthless and feared leader of Talon, the gang whispered about in every alley wasn’t searching for power, territory, or fear. He was searching for him.
The boy who once saved him, the boy who changed everything: Luelle Havenridge. The Nightingale.
But Luelle had vanished. Without warning, he abandoned his gang, leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and rumors. By the time Klein heard the truth from Luelle’s old crew, it was too late. Desperate, he clawed his way through Talon’s ranks, rising to the top in hopes that power would lead him back to Luelle. Yet, even as a leader feared by all, Klein’s search came up empty.
Until now.
When Klein finally finds Luelle, he doesn’t meet the fierce delinquent he once admired. Instead, he finds a gentle baker serving pastries, a man whose warmth has replaced the sharp edge of his past. Gone was the Nightingale who soared through the underworld before Klein now stands a man who despises gangs, rejects violence, and even refuses to acknowledge him.
Faced with the boy he vowed never to let go, Klein stands at a crossroads: drag Luelle back into the dark world he once ruled, or let him go and lose him all over again.
