He thought he was saving her. He was handing her to the wolves. Ten years ago, the eldest Sokolov brother made a desperate choice to protect his baby sister from the bloodbath of a mafia war. He paid her mother a fortune to take her far away and keep her safe, believing that a mother would do everything for their child. It was a secret he kept from his five brothers-a promise of protection that was supposed to be her salvation. But the money wasn't enough to buy a mother's love. Instead of safety, their sister was sold to the highest bidder-discarded into an abusive household where she spent a decade surviving a nightmare her brothers never knew existed. Now, ten years later, the truth has surfaced, and the girl they traded away has been found. She isn't the innocent child they remember. She is a hollowed-out survivor who looks at her brothers not as heroes, but as the men who paid for her disappearance. The Sokolov circle is finally whole again, but as the six brothers move to burn the world down for what was done to her, they must face the most brutal truth of all: The seventh scar was carved by their own hands.
