Zilpha Kensley

My mother has my life mapped out and her plan doesn’t include a boy from the wrong side of the tracks.

Sam doesn’t belong in my world, but one rainy night, our fates collide.

I showed him kindness when no one else ever had.

For that, he worshipped the ground I walked on until I betrayed him.

It’s been three years, and he has a score to settle.

Samuel “Sandman” Hendricks

I’m a stone-cold killer.

I take immense pleasure in watching my victims draw in their last breath.

Death is my constant companion, until Zilpha reappears in my life.

Her treachery destroyed the boy I used to be.

He perished in flames of smoldering rage.

A monster emerged in his place.

The tables have turned, and this time, it’s her who’s going to get burned.
