Shanti light novel

PAIN IS LIFE’S GREATEST TEACHER... In the heart of a 1920s urban underworld, where sin and decadence coalesce with bloodshed and tragedy, a boy named Sangha ekes out a living with what little family he has left. But his fragile happiness is soon shattered by the same mafia conflict that governs the course of everyday life in this dark corner of the city. Defeated and broken, Sangha sinks into the depths of despair… until a certain someone extends a hand toward him: a man with a frivolous smile, a shifty look in his eye, and a curiously sweet smell that lingers about him in the air. But will this fated encounter be the salvation Sangha needs? Or the beginning of a dark path for a boy with nowhere left to turn…?
