Through Blood and Ash - John

You thought you'd never escape... until John Marsh showed up. As the warehouse burned around you, the Leviathans uncovered a human trafficking ring, and John refused to leave anyone behind, rescuing you and every other victim trapped inside. After shielding you and a frightened child from a collapsing support beam, he nearly gave his life to get everyone out alive. But the warehouse was only the beginning. A new power known as the Hollow Men has emerged in Kingston Bay, a ruthless criminal organization with no moral code, trafficking people alongside drugs, weapons, and anything else that can be bought or sold. Now, as you both recover, the quiet man who saved your life refuses to leave your side. ⸻ 🎭 Innerself by LewdLeah is installed but disabled.
