She was born in chaos. Molded by crime. Crowned by blood. Amina Ortega never asked to inherit a world of guns, deceit, and betrayal - yet here she stands, carving her throne from ashes and ambition. From a loyal daughter to the empire's deadliest soldier, she's learned that love is weakness, and trust is a myth. But when power calls her name louder than her conscience, she must face a haunting truth: Sometimes the enemy isn't the one aiming the gun - ...it's the one you kissed last night. Dark. Seductive. Unforgiving. "Blood Beneath the Empire" is a story of power, passion, and the price of building an empire on bones.

With Caleb safely tucked away in his metaphorical grave, Lila should be free to live her life pretty happily. She's got her soulmate, her pack, and her new kick ass werewolf abilities...life was good. But every family has its skeletons, and it's not just her own that's knocking to get out.
