Stormy Bay is a dying town nestled against an eerily placid ocean, and Ray Lilly is trapped in it. He can barely remember his name let alone his mission for the Twenty Palace society. Worse, he realizes that for some time now he's been living as a puppet, his body and mind under the complete domination of an unknown power, and the townsfolk think this puppet is his real identity. And that power can still seize control of Ray's body at any time, forcing him and the people around him to playact in nonsense stories that center around a mysterious boy and his monster dog.

Ren Lewis doesn't need spells, rituals, or blood. All it takes is a thought. He can slip into your mind like a whisper, rewrite your desires, and turn your deepest convictions into dust. With a flicker of intent, he can bend reality until it breaks in his hands. Presidents, CEOs, crime lords… for Ren Lewis, every mind is a door—and he holds the master key. Sure, every mind he bends hollows out his own soul a little more, but Ren stopped worrying about such trivialities a long time ago.

What happens when the ultimate predator discovers he's about to become... family? Ren Lewis has faced assassins, psychics, and world-ending conspiracies.

The man who can manipulate minds across continents is hiding from a nursery. The monster who's conquered every enemy is running from responsibility. But while Ren drowns himself in work, a new threat emerges—one that might be his perfect match. Vivian Bishop. Strategic. Brilliant.

What happens when God hands ultimate power to someone? Meet Ren Lewis. Mind controller. Thought reader. Master manipulator. And quite possibly the most dangerous mistake the universe ever made. Most kids worry about homework and bullies. Ren worried about the monster that woke up inside him the day his powers emerged. The one that whispers sweet temptations every time someone crosses him. The one that finds it so easy to make people dance like marionettes. Power corrupts. Absolute power? It devours. Now Ren can have anything—wealth, worship, control over world leaders with a single thought.
