As her brothers try to reach the little sister they never knew they had, Julie must decide whether silence will keep protecting her - or if family can become the first place where she no longer has to disappear.

When an eclipse marks her eighteenth year, the forest is all she has ever known. Until the most dangerous man in Italy finds her. Antonio De Luca is a mafia king-cold, ruthless, and feared by all. He speaks to no one, kills without hesitation, and believes innocence does not survive in his world. But she does not fear him. Taken from the forest and into a life she does not understand, she must learn the human world through the eyes of a child-while Antonio faces a truth he never expected. What if the girl he rescued was never meant to be lost... but hidden? A princess from another mafia perhaps?
