The Serpent's Dying Oath

In the rain-slicked underworld of Ravencroft, undercover narcotics agent Adrian Cross has spent six years burrowing into the venomous heart of the DeMarco crime family. As the final noose tightens and the city's police force prepares to execute a brutal sweep, Adrian finds himself staring at the reflection of a man he no longer recognizes. Torn between the badge he once swore to uphold and the intoxicating, unconditional loyalty of the family forged in sin, his quest for survival forces him to confront a terrifying truth: the "demon" he has become is nothing more than an ordinary man who dared to embrace the primal human need for belonging, pushed beyond the edge of sanity. This is a Fei Wo Si Cun style tale of forbidden desire, agonizing redemption, and shattered identity, unfolding against a backdrop of lethal betrayal.
