The northern star and the mafia King

Elian is a soul caught between two worlds: by day, he is a humble fishmonger in a rugged coastal village; by night, he is a dreamer who maps the heavens through a brass telescope. His quiet life is shattered when the tide washes up a dying man—Dante Thorne, the ruthless "King" of a powerful urban crime syndicate. Shot and betrayed by his own, Dante is a predator in a cage of bone and bruised skin. Elian rescues him, stitching the monster back together with salt-crusted needles and starlight stories, never realizing the true identity of his guest. But Dante, captivated by the boy who saved him without fear, cannot let his "North Star" go. When Dante’s strength returns, he forcibly brings Elian into his world—a cold, violent "Kingdom" of marble and blood. To protect his prize from a family of vipers and a city at war, Dante builds Elian a sanctuary: a glass-domed observatory high above the grimy streets. In this "upside-down" world, their relationship shifts into a dangerous dance of possession, role-play, and high-heat intimacy. While the Thorne family plots to remove the "fish boy," Elian discovers that he is the only one who can navigate the darkness in Dante’s heart.
