My name is Ryan. I'm Homelander's son.
The whole world thinks I'm his greatest weakness, a mascot he could crush at any moment.
They don't know that the most dangerous man in the world is being tamed by me.
When I was eight, I got him to crush a security guard's head with one sentence: “Dad, they're going to hurt me.”
When I was ten, I injected Compound V. He held my hand all night. It was the first time in his life he'd ever felt concern for someone else.
When I was eighteen, I had someone beat Soldier Boy to death right in front of him.
Little by little, he became a son-obsessed man, unable to leave me and terrified of losing me. He'd even go mad with jealousy if I talked to someone else.
He thinks he's my master, but from the moment I opened my eyes, he was my prey.
Taking advantage of his need for love, his arrogance, and his laughable pride, I trained him into the world's most loyal and dangerous pet.
He kills for me and clears every obstacle from my path. He even feels guilty whenever he misbehaves.
But what I want is far more than that...
This novel has a dark tone. The protagonist is ruthless and decisive, and there is no female lead. All female characters are merely pawns. There are no romantic storylines, and the protagonist is no saint.
