On the day I won the Best Newcomer Award, I broke up with my boyfriend. He, with his eyes rimmed in red, put aside his pride and begged me, "Can you not leave me? I will definitely get acting roles!" I turned wordlessly and got into a Rolls-Royce. Later, he became an internet sensation thanks to his superb acting in a web series. He proposed to me in public, vowing to love and dote on me as he did before. After our marriage, he forced me to watch him film every scene. I sat behind the camera, watching him and his rumored love interest embrace and kiss with abandon. I knew he wanted to make me suffer, but he didn't know that the web series that made him an overnight star was a role I had begged for him by donating a kidney to a powerful man's unforgettable past love. And now, this kidney has developed problems, and I do not have long to live.

After being cruelly murdered by my husband's white moonlight, my corpse was thrown under the bridge outside the villa. On the third day of my death, my son finally found me under the bridge. He stepped on the gravel, wiped the blood off my face with his small hands, and I did not blink. He held clear water to my pale lips, and I did not lick. He lay on my cold chest, listening to my long-silent heartbeat. Hao Hao panicked and used his phone watch to video call my actor husband who was doing a fashion show: "Dad, why is mom lying here all the time?" "Your mom is practicing her acting skills, ignore her! Tell your mom that whenever she is willing to admit her mistake, I will forgive her." After hanging up, my son stared at my corpse for a long time. He took off his small coat, gently covering my cold body: "Mom, this way it won't hurt."

After being brutally murdered by my wife's ex-boyfriend, my body was thrown under the bridge outside the villa. On the third day after my death, my daughter finally found me under the bridge. She stepped on the gravel and wiped the bloodstains off my face with her small hands, but I did not blink. She brought some clear water and fed it to my pale lips, but I did not lick it. She lay on my cold chest, listening to my heartbeat that no longer existed. Tiantian panicked and called my actress wife, who was on the runway, with her phone watch: "Mom, why does Dad keep lying here?" "Your dad is practicing his acting, don't worry about him! Tell your dad that whenever he's willing to admit his mistake, I'll forgive him." After hanging up the video call, my daughter stared at my corpse for a long time.

​"The debt was paid in blood two centuries ago. Now, the interest is due." ​Tobias “Theo” Eaton is a ghost in a bespoke suit. Once a Prince of the United Kingdom and third in line to the throne, he abandoned his birthright at eighteen to become "Four"—an elite black-ops operative for the SAS. For twelve years, he has moved through a world of shades, processing grief as data and human connection as a tactical liability. He is a man waiting to die, haunted by a 200-year-old blood feud between the House of Windsor and a shadowy cabal known as The Order of Reckoning. ​Teresa Agnes is a woman fueled by a different kind of haunting. The billionaire CEO of a global investment empire, she has spent the year following her father’s suspicious death transforming herself into a weapon of investigation. When her path collides with Theo’s in the rain-slicked alleys of Singapore, she doesn't see a Prince or a killer—she sees a man hiding behind a wall of clinical detachment. ​Forced into a wary partnership, they embark on a global chase from the neon corridors of Tokyo to the high-stakes auction houses of Paris and the corporate towers of Manhattan. As they peel back the layers of a conspiracy that threatens to topple the British Monarchy, Theo’s emotional armor begins to crack. For the first time in a decade, he isn't just surviving; he is beginning to live. ​But in the world of the Reckoning, hope is the most dangerous variable of all. ​As The Windsor Protocol—a coordinated strike to eliminate the royal bloodline—nears its execution on Valentine's Day, the duo realizes the enemy isn't just an organization, but a historical grievance that cannot be reasoned with. Lord Edmund Ashford, a father figure turned Judas, demands a final price for the sins of the past: a life for a life. ​In a climactic confrontation at the Tower of London, the cold mathematics of Theo’s world are upended. Faced with an impossible choice between duty and devotion, it is Teresa who makes the ultimate executive decision. She chooses a sacrifice that saves a city and a dynasty, but leaves Theo in a world more silent and grey than the one he started in. ​The Reckoning is a melancholic spy thriller about the heavy cost of legacy and the tragedy of a love found just in time to be lost. It is a story of dusk, dawn, and the long, cold shadows in between.
