The Annihilator

Lyla is battered and survives by selling her body each night in a sinister criminal underworld that threatens to destroy her. Someone is watching her: the Shadow Man, her stalker and her protector, who goes after any man trying to possess her.

When Lyla is pulled further into the hands of people determined to claim her, her tormented guardian follows, and he will destroy the world to save her.

The Annihilator is the fifth book in RuNyx's Dark Verse series, a dark mafia romance with an obsessive anti-hero and an age gap. It can be read as the next chapter in the series, with the Shadow Man and Lyla at its centre.
