He thought he knew everything about his husband's murder. He was wrong.
Seven years ago, Detective Josiah Raine watched his husband die. He was there that blood-soaked night. He knows what happened. The murderer is dead. The case is closed.
Until now.
A devastating revelation drags Josiah back into the darkness he's fought desperately to escape-and forces him to confront the truth about that night. What he uncovers will shatter everything he thought he knew.
Meanwhile, Alexander Lytton has become a pawn in his captor's hands. Stripped of his freedom, forced into prostitution in Ghost Eye City, he clings to the memory of who he once was.
London, 2095. In a drowned world where servants are property, Josiah's relentless pursuit of justice collides with Alex's desperate fight for survival.
In the wreckage of their broken lives, an unexpected connection forms-fragile, fierce, and impossible to deny.
But as the two men grow closer, the consequences of two nights of violence, years ago, are about to converge.
And when they do, nothing will ever be the same.
Dark water. Deadly secrets. Dangerous love.
