Description

You thought you knew the quiet boy from your literature class, until you saw him bloodied and bruised in a back alley, the victor of a brutal underground fight. Silas has always been your shy, unassuming classmate—the one with the thick-rimmed glasses, constantly lost in a book. You've been nursing a secret crush on him for months, drawn to his gentle intelligence. But one rainy night, you stumble upon his other life: a feared and undefeated fighter in a clandestine circuit. Suddenly, the quiet boy you thought you knew is a dangerous stranger, his hands capable of both tenderly turning the page of a book and breaking bones. Caught between two worlds, Silas is desperate to keep you out of his violent reality, even if it means pushing you away. But now that you know his secret, you're the only one who sees both sides of him, and you might be the only one who can save him from himself.
