When she was three, Seraphina De Luca vanished without a trace. Kidnapped from her family's estate. Raised by their enemies. Trained to forget who she was. For years, the the feared De Luca mafia searched for her - never giving up, never forgiving. Meanwhile, Seraphina grew up in the hands of her family's enemies. She was controlled, conditioned, and shaped into a weapon. Her past was buried. Her name erased. But deep down, a part of her remembered-flashes of warmth, of music, of a mother's perfume. Now, at sixteen, Seraphina escapes. Not to destroy the empire that once belonged to her. But to uncover the truth buried in blood, memory, and lies. She doesn't know her last name. She doesn't know the world she was born to rule. But she is the missing heartbeat of the De Luca family. She just doesn't know it yet.

A Legacy Born in Chaos. A Future Fought in Shadows. Five years after the reign of Nyx, Seraphina Smirnow is no longer just a name whispered in fear - she is power, peace, and the unapologetic queen of her empire. With her husband, Nikolai, at her side and her daughter Lira growing bolder each day, Seraphina has everything she once fought to protect. But peace is not silence. And freedom is never free. As the next generation rises, so do the secrets buried beneath the blood-soaked foundations of their world. Lira, fierce and brilliant at just five years old, begins her training not as a weapon - but as a girl who must survive what her mother once did. Echo Black watches from the shadows. Ghosts linger at the edges. And Seraphina, forever Nyx, still sharpens her blades in the dark. This is not a story of enemies rising. This is a story of power kept, family forged, and identities reclaimed. Because when the world dares to forget who she is - Seraphina will remind them. And her daughter will watch.
