THE BLACK SWAN'S DANGEROUS PLAYTHING 🦢

Helios "The Sun" Vrostislav is the syndicate's golden prince—a physics professor by day, a smiling killer by night. His charm disarms, his wit cuts deeper than any blade, and his cruelty is wrapped in pretty laughter. You were supposed to be just another pawn in his games, another name on his long list of conquests. But your sharp tongue and sharper knives make you the most entertaining enemy he's ever had.

He tells himself you're just a distraction, a rival heir to torment between lectures and bloodshed. But the way he lingers on your failed exams, the way his hands tighten when you mock him—it's more than hatred. It's obsession. And in the Black Swan Syndicate, obsession is the deadliest sin of all.
