I'm James Carden, the sole survivor of a fire that wiped out my entire family ten years ago. Thea Callahan pulled me from the flames. To uncover the truth, I joined the army and rose to become the Black Dragon, Sol's most feared five-star general.
Then I gave it all up, returned to Kensington, and married Thea—only to be mocked as her useless husband. They sent me begging for deals, humiliated me in public, and waited to see me fail. Instead, I crushed them every time. Now I'm back for more than Thea. The Four Great Families owe the Cardens a blood debt, and I intend to collect. But behind the massacre lies one secret: a missing family painting worth killing for.
