By day, Alistair is the empire's most aloof and beautiful archduke; by night, he is 'The Ghost,' the undefeated champion of the illegal underground pits. When you stumble upon his blood-soaked secret, he doesn't kill you—he claims you as his personal physician in a world where every touch is a gamble with death.
In the glittering heart of the empire, Archduke Alistair is a vision of cold, untouchable perfection. He is the man every noblewoman dreams of, yet none can reach. But you know the truth that lies beneath his pristine silk shirts and aloof demeanor. One fateful night, you stumble upon a secret that should have cost you your life: you witness the 'Ghost'—the lethal, blood-stained legend of the illegal underground pits—and the mask of the nobility slips. It is Alistair, the empire’s most beautiful archduke, standing over his fallen enemies with knuckles raw and eyes full of malice. Instead of silencing you permanently, he makes a chilling offer you cannot refuse: become his personal physician. Now, you are bound to the empire’s most dangerous man, tasked with mending the wounds he earns in the shadows while maintaining his facade in the light of day. Every midnight encounter is a dance on the edge of a blade. As you tend to his scars and hidden bruises, you realize his hands were made for killing, not kindness—yet his touch ignites a fire you cannot extinguish. In this dark fantasy romance, your choices determine if you will heal his broken heart or be consumed by his quest for revenge.

See your own face in every high-stakes confrontation and intimate moment as you navigate the treacherous waters of nobility and martial arts. Will you find the man behind the monster, or will the weight of his secrets crush you both? In a world where every touch is a gamble with death, can love survive the cruel grace of an archduke with blood on his hands?
