She returned scarred. They returned ruthless."
After years of silence, eleven-year-old Chiara Lastra is brought back to her brothers - strangers who once loved her, now powerful men hidden beneath tailored suits and dangerous secrets.
Taken away by their mother and raised in a house full of abuse, Chiara returns to Ireland a shadow of the child she once was. Covered in bruises, wrapped in silence, and afraid to speak the truth, she hides her pain beneath long sleeves and lowered eyes.
But her brothers are no ordinary men.
Lorenzo Lastra, the commanding head of the Italian mafia.
Alessio, the calculating second-in-command.
Salvatore, the cold-handed doctor.
Enzo, the boxing ring king where blood spills more often than ink.
Dante, Luca, and Elio, her younger brothers, caught between school and sin.
They don't know the horrors she's survived.
She doesn't know the world they now rule.
And when blood ties clash with buried pain, the legacy of the Lastras may never be the same.
