“Are you really not afraid I'll devour you alive?” Claude asked the mob heiress during their negotiation.
“Why don't you try?” The heiress thrust out her impressive chest and taunted him.
“Heh... Fine. Let's see what happens.”
(The proper synopsis begins below.)
The story takes place on the Old Continent, where the smoke of war mingles with steam.
The festering wounds left by war keep devouring the flesh and blood of the poor in Gray Harbor.
Yet a crime family called the Dawns rises swiftly from this scarred land, eventually sweeping across the entire continent.
But the true power behind this legendary family is an ill-omened man with black eyes and black hair, cursed and condemned.
Claude Dawn, an East Xia man with an immortal body, an eternal prisoner bearing a cross, an anointed king crowned with thorns.
“Amen. One day, the whole world will lie beneath the shadow of the cross.”
This is so well written! I read it in one go!
