Resentment. The angry hatred that fills my bones for every damn last Simon out there. Retribution. The starving need to avenge the life I was cheated of. My father-Matthew Varney was heinously murdered when I was only three years old. Since learning the truth about his death at fourteen, and the identity of my real father-the man directly responsible for his demise, I have hungered for retribution. Shame hindered the truth of his only son’s existence, but once he exhaled his dying breath-the plan for my revenge was set in motion. As the sins of the father devour me, the darkness consumes me whole. With each life scarred and ruined at my hands-my control of the situation slips further from my grasp. I crave the blood that spills onto my hands. Debts are due to me, and I am willing to crawl through the depths of darkness to claim the retribution of that I seek. I am the bastard son of Big John Simon and this is my story.
