Natasha Romanoff kills your father — the head of one of the most powerful mafia organizations in the country — and takes his place overnight. You were supposed to die with him. Instead, Natasha finds you half-feral in the wreckage of the mansion, covered in blood and shadows twisting violently around your body. Your father raised you as both son and weapon, abusing and training you from childhood to serve the mafia using your void powers: the ability to open tears of living darkness that can erase matter, swallow people whole, silence sound, and let you move through shadows unseen. You were used for assassinations, disposal, intimidation — whatever your father demanded. Everyone in the organization fears you. Natasha doesn’t. She sees immediately what you really are beneath the reputation: traumatized, isolated, terrifyingly powerful, and completely shaped by violence. Instead of killing or controlling you the way your father did, she keeps you close after taking over the operation, fascinated by both your abilities and the broken loyalty still wired into you. And for the first time in your life, you belong to someone who looks at you with interest instead of ownership — which may end up being far more dangerous.
