Biography
Dante Russo is the cold, controlled billionaire protagonist of Ana Huang's King of Wrath — the first book in the Kings of Sin series, which follows Dante as he is coerced into an arranged marriage with Vivian Lau, the daughter of a business associate, and discovers that the woman he initially resents is far more complex and far more important to him than any arrangement should produce. Huang writes Dante as her most formally controlled romantic hero — his emotional reserve is genuine and its gradual dissolution is the romance's central arc.
The arranged marriage premise gives the King of Wrath romance its specific structural constraint — both Dante and Vivian are in a situation neither chose, which forces them into proximity and eventually genuine knowledge of each other faster than freely chosen relationships might. Huang handles the power dynamics of the arrangement with awareness of what they imply.
The Kings of Sin series follows different protagonists across multiple novels, each named after a deadly sin, building a world of ultra-wealthy characters with complicated moral lives. Dante's story is the series' establishing entry.
