The Lombardi family is the most notorious group in the crime world. They rule both the American and Italian mafias and have many others bowing at their feet. Lombardis show no mercy to anyone who gets in their way. Alina is just shy of 4 years old, but her short life has been a living nightmare, full of pain and suffering. She is the unwanted daughter of the Russian Bratva, the Ivanovs. Alina was sent to the States shortly after birth to be "raised" by her older brothers. But she's nothing more than a burden to them, right? Though seemingly impossible, one day, Alina escapes and unknowingly falls right into the hands of her enemy, the Lombardi family. Little did they know who exactly had just changed their lives forever. For the better? Or for the worse... ---- "Brothers," I point to the boys. "Mommy," I grab her hand. "Daddy," I reach for his, but I'm lifted off the ground instead and pulled into his warm embrace. "And our little Allie." This is my family. ---- [WARNING] Contains - mature content, bad language, abuse, and other violent behaviors ---- Recommended 15+

Sixteen-year-old tech prodigy Mahina Aunika Tembo Kai-codename: CIRCUIT-was born into secrets. The daughter of two legendary operatives in The Veiled Legion, she's spent her life chasing echoes: encrypted messages, phantom signals, whispers from a past buried deep beneath the classified vaults of the world's most secretive spy agency-M.A.U.S.A.M. But when a forbidden interface unlocks a voice from the dead-her mother's-and a warning about Project Acheron, everything changes. Now Mahina and her elite black-ops unit-Lux Tenebris, eight prodigies raised in the dark-are thrust into a puzzle older than any satellite. One that merges ancient magic with bleeding-edge tech... all connected to a fallen celestial relic called Elarion, humming with code and untold power. As the line between myth and machine blurs, Mahina must unravel the truth before the Legion's most dangerous secrets rise again. And in the shadows of this unraveling storm stands Zaiden Elio Santiago Mercurio II-a cold-eyed mafia heir with encrypted loyalties and ties to the very war Mahina was born to fight. Their destinies weren't supposed to cross. But fate-like firewalls-was made to be broken. Her parents vanished without a trace. The Legion won't speak. The code is waking up. And CIRCUIT is done waiting. --- ⚠️ Read if you like: 🔥 Teen spies, tech gadgets & rogue AI 🖤 Found family, forbidden bonds 💥 Action-packed missions & spycraft 🧊 Cold love interests with hidden hearts 🦁 Fierce, brainy female leads 🕵️‍♂️ Mafia x Spy dynamics --- > ☣️ This is your official briefing.
