I've always hated Tony the Hand.
He's the one who ruined my life by turning cruelty into an art form. Watching him die was meant to fix everything, except that it didn't. It propelled me into darkness and took me down a path where men walk and monsters are forged in their stead.
I've lost everything and, in the process, have become everything I despised: cruel, cold and calculated.
And then she had to walk in.
Mia Rizzi.
As long as she is around me, she threatens to tilt the delicate balance of sanity I have managed to cling onto, and plunge my life back into chaos. Back into a war I never wanted to start. But might have to finish.
Her presence has woken a monster who will stop at nothing to get to me, even if it means
going through her. But I can't have another innocent on my conscience.
Not again...
Though the more time I spend with Mia, the more I question how innocent she really is.
I am Gabriel D'Angelo, and this is the story of how I almost died...
