A Dish Best Served Cold

High above the ground was a majestic eagle.Whether he was hungry or not, his keen eyes were always on the lookout for any prey.The eagle is lifted and dragged over the forests, lakes, rivers, and mountains by powerful currents of hot and cold air.The landscapes below were vast, magnificent, and holy.The eagle's range was vast, but he mostly stayed in the northern part of the continent rather than the entire continent.The only time this great hunter moved south was when it was time to mate.He made a huge shadow on the ground as he flew through the air, sending any animals below into a mad dash for their lives.Now that he is mostly flying by himself, the only people he sees in the sky are smaller eagles and occasionally hawks that glide dangerously close to him and put their lives in danger.He let the memory of his mate and their first clutch of eggs fade away with each subsequent winter.

They think it's a joke. A faceless investor with a strange demand. They're right about one thing: the investor is a joke. The joke is on them. Because the man they call a useless live-in nobody is the Ghost Needle, the legendary healer whose single treatment can save a dying tycoon, and the secret owner of Lantern Capital, the company holding every last debt the Calloways owe. Rowan didn't sign the contract for love or for money. He signed it to find the people who destroyed his family and to stay close to the one woman who once showed him kindness. But the harbor is getting restless. His cold wife, Elena, is noticing things that don't add up. A rival tycoon is circling the Calloways. And with every humiliation Rowan swallows, his secret gets harder to keep. Soon, the whole city will learn whose name is on the contract. They called him worthless. They never read the fine print.

To the world, Dante is nothing more than a living corpse, waiting for death to claim him. Yet within the eternal darkness, Dante discovers a way to “see” that ordinary men never could. Using Elena as both a pawn and his public face, Dante begins to crawl through the shadows. He hacks financial systems, sabotages smuggling routes, and eliminates traitors one by one with cold, deliberate hands. As entire mafia organizations begin to collapse without explanation, they finally realize one truth, the King was never truly blind, and he is coming to reclaim his throne in blood.

Nothing good seemed to have happened to Brian Fineman as far as he could remember. He had spent his childhood days at the orphanage when his mom succumbed to the cold hands of death; got adopted by Mrs Johnson at the age of five, and had dropped out of college when he couldn't watch the same woman, the closest person he had close to a family, die. And as if that's not enough, his girlfriend of five years also walked away when she couldn't endure the rigors of his financial struggles. In absolute dismay at his reality, he thought there was nothing more to live for until he met a life changing proposal from Lord Danley. Now, only good things can happen right? Well, that wasn't the case; for Brian's love and loyalty were put to test at each step of the way.
