When you’ve seen the worst in life, can you ever find the good?
RYKER
Every family has a fixer. The person who is always expected to solve every problem. Even as a kid, I knew the role I had in my Crowne family would force me to live a life in solitude, surrounded by people, yet alone in many ways. After convincing myself that I was fine on my own, I finally found my person. A man buried so deep in my soul that it broke me a little inside every time we connected. As I was always reminded though, my role was to fix others. Not become the one who needs fixing.
SHADE
For her, I became a fixer. But my nature has always been to destroy. I promised myself I’d always be there for her, even after she pushed me away. But even I can’t deny that if she lets me in again, there’s no guarantee how it will turn out. I could be her salvation mind, body and soul.

Who knows, maybe darkness is where we both belong.
For years, these adopted siblings have lived by the code, Know Thy Enemy. However, what seems too good to be true usually is. Some say mafia. They say family. Can they trust their allies and defend the Crowne legacy? Or will they realize that loyalty, love, and honor are luxuries they can’t afford?
