The Final Act is a dark psychological crime novel about a girl who is taken-and refuses to be made gentle by it. Ary was never meant to be anyone's baby. She grew up in the gaps people fell through, learning young that love was unreliable and survival was loud. She learned how to disappear, how to numb herself, how not to need anyone-because needing people only ever ended one way. She drank too much, stayed gone too long, and lived like no one had a right to claim her. Until someone did. When Ary is trafficked and sold, she doesn't end up in some shadowy nightmare. She ends up with Apollo and Chiara Mancini-polished, powerful, married for decades, their empire built on loyalty and blood. They've buried more children than they ever got to raise. What they want is simple. A daughter. A second chance. Something to fill the space that never healed. What they get is nothing like the girl they imagined. Ary is sharp-tongued and explosive, allergic to rules and untouched by gratitude. She doesn't want their protection or their care, doesn't want to be dressed up as a miracle or folded into a family she never asked for. She refuses to soften, refuses to pretend, refuses to belong. But the Mancinis don't negotiate, and in their household, love is enforced. They don't rescue. They decide. Held inside a life of watchful eyes, quiet control, and love that feels too heavy to escape, Ary is forced to confront a question she's never had to answer before: how much of herself can she keep, and how much will this world take anyway? The Final Act is a story about power, survival, and what happens when a girl who has never been owned is claimed...and refuses to disappear quietly. But every rebellion has a consequence. And Aryanna Smith and rebellion go together well.
