Description

After being taken captive, Adeline is trapped among dangerous men whose identities are deceptive. Captivity leaves her struggling to recognize herself, yet she continues fighting to survive and return to the violent figure who hunts for her. Beyond her confinement, the Hunter pursues her and unleashes ruthless violence against those who have wronged him. Their parallel paths—her effort to endure and his relentless pursuit—shape the concluding volume of the Cat and Mouse Duet. The story centers on captivity, fractured identity, danger, and the uneasy bond between a woman seeking her way back and the ruthless man determined to find her.
