°•○Book 1 in The Forsaken Bloodline Series.○•° ☆Can be read as a standalone☆ In the Ricci Empire, daughters are meant to die before they become toddlers. Any girl born into the bloodline is considered a curse, a weakness that must be erased before she can even take her first steps. Seren Ricci should have been nothing more than a shadow, a secret buried and forgotten. Born from a forbidden night, she is a living sin her father, Alexandros Ricci, cannot forgive-and a secret that could destroy everything he has built. From the moment of her birth, Alexandros kept her at a distance, cold and unyielding, treating her as a mistake rather than a child. Outside the walls of their estate, the empire enforces its brutal law without mercy, and every heartbeat of Seren's life is a defiance of tradition. But when tragedy threatens to take her away, Alexandros is forced to confront a truth he has long denied: he cannot bear to lose her. Hatred fractures into something raw and dangerous, and the child he once despised becomes the center of his world. In a realm where daughters are meant to die, Alexandros must choose-between loyalty to the empire and the daughter who has become his everything. Seren is more than a secret. She is his rebellion, his redemption, and the spark of love that could either save them both-or destroy everything he has ever known. --- °•○All rights are reserved.
