Abstract

"Do you know what it feels like to face destiny and truth head-on in the darkness of night?" Midnight in New York. Rain falls like knives, while evil silently breeds between neon lights and shadows. A 911 call shatters the stillness, pulling Detective Ethan Carter into a seemingly ordinary home invasion that conceals a dangerous vortex beneath its surface. Every drop of blood, every trace of soil at the scene becomes a clue leading into a dark abyss. He thought he was merely investigating a crime until he met that razor-sharp, brilliantly insightful female attorney, Sophie Bennett. She's a hunter in the courtroom, and the most dangerous ally in the night. When evidence intertwines with lies, when justice wrestles with power, the two must form a fragile alliance, fighting for a sliver of truth and redemption in the narrow space between the powerful elite and criminal gangs. As they pursue the real culprit, they test each other, depend on each other, and at the edge of life and death, discover an irresistible attraction that feels like destiny. "If you dare to stare into the darkness, be prepared for the darkness to stare back." This is a game of trust, betrayal, and redemption. When the line between hunter and prey blurs, when justice and love become entangled, can they find their own light in the deepest night of this city?
