The men in the secret society known as the Lords think they rule the world. And in a way, they do. Each has sold their soul to the devil at a young age in exchange for power and wealth. Like anything else, they have different levels of success. The more theyâre willing to serve, the more power they have.
Among them are the Spade brothers, who run Carnage. Itâs where the Lords who have not held up their oath go to live out the rest of their lives in shackles. Tucked away from the world as if they never existed.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
I once belonged to a LordâSaint Beckham Carter. Although nothing was holy about him, I still kneeled as if he could grant me eternity in a world where only evil existed.
At the time, I willingly vowed to be his and allowed him to share me with his âbrothers.â But things changed. And what I thought couldnât get any better got exceptionally worse. So I did the only thing I could and ran from him, knowing I could never return.
Now heâs found me and dragged me back to his hell, where he will make me his pet. The world already thinks Iâm dead, so no one will miss me. And Iâm just another name on a long list of those who will never know freedom.
What he doesnât know is why I ran from him in the first place. A Lord doesnât listen to reason, so itâs not like heâd care anyway. Saint was born a Lord, and he will die as one.
If life has taught me anything, itâs that we all pay for our sins. And Saint will never let me forget that my place is at Carnage, serving him on my knees until death is granted.
