  Summary

  Working with a gambler was outside of Sunday’s interests. He hated frivolity, especially when it came to a peacock showing off its feathers. All he ever knew was to be obedient: discipline, perfection and order—but most importantly, absolute dedication to his father’s cause. And so, Gopher Wood gave him an important task: keeping an eye on Aventurine.

  The simple birdwatching was merely the tip of the iceberg.

  He wasn’t supposed to want him.

  Neither was he supposed to like him in the first place. In fact, he was only meant to bleed.

  To play the role of the chosen one.
