It’s 1825 Paris, where a few rich men live like kings, but most people barely survive. But 16 year old Damon isn’t interested in wealth. He wants revenge.

For years, Damon has served Aurélien, the sadistic heir to the De La Couer fortune. And for years he’s been plotting, watching, waiting for the moment to avenge his family by killing their murderer, Aurélien’s father, Olivier.

But on the night when Damon plans to strike, he’s accused of a murder he didn’t commit and Olivier has slipped away once again. Beaten within an inch of his life, Damon’s only chance is to do the unimaginable.

Somethings the only way to destroy an impossible enemy is to die.
