One, two, they took what's mine.
My little lamb was stolen from me.
Three, four, blood on the floor.
The monster she awakened has broken free.
Five, six, death's favorite tricks.
My darkness hunts relentlessly.
Seven, eight, feel my rage.
Hell itself bows down to me.
Nine, ten, kill again and again.
Each death brings her back to me. Eleven, twelve, straight to hell.
Where screams ring eternally. Welcome back to your darkest nightmare.

I am Death, and they've stripped away my mask of mercy.
My little lamb, I will paint the streets red until you're safe in my arms again. โ€œBack in the Shadowsโ€ plunges readers deeper into Death's twisted realm, where love and violence dance in perfect harmony. This isn't just a storyโ€”it's a descent into beautiful madness, where the line between protector and monster blurs with every heartbeat. Once you've stepped back into the shadows, there's no escaping their embrace.
