About this listen

Aries:

I kept my distance to protect her. My little stepsister with wide eyes and soft smiles—too innocent for a world like mine. But while I was locked away in darkness, he took my place. My name. My life. Her. Now I’m back. And I’ll burn this world to the ground to get it all back—even if she’s afraid of what I’ve become.

Lilian:

I was never meant to matter this much. Not to one brother—let alone two. Aries was my almost. The stepbrother I shouldn’t have loved. Arson was the secret. The lie no one warned me about . . . until it was too late. They hate each other. Always have. Always will. But now I’m gone, and the only way to get me back is to work together. Two monsters. One obsession. And when they find me, the war between them won’t stop. It’ll just turn inward—because saving me might be the one thing that breaks them both.

Arson:

I was never supposed to have a name. He was the golden one. I was the shadow they buried. But then she looked at me—and didn’t run. She saw my brother’s face and wanted me. And I wanted her. Twisted. Pure. Off-limits. Mine. Now she’s been taken, and for the first time in our broken, blood-soaked lives, Aries and I want the same thing. We’ll burn the world to bring her back. And when we do . . . We’ll see which of us she survives.
