In a world ruled by blood and buried sins, Zaria was raised to believe her family's secrets were meant to protect her. She was wrong. When she discovers her dead mother's journal, the truth begins to unravel - page by page, lie by lie - and every entry leads to one name: Sin. A man her father fears. A ghost who has watched her from the shadows her entire life. A monster who should want her dead. But Sin doesn't come to destroy her. He comes to claim her. As rival syndicates close in and her father's empire begins to fracture, Zaria is forced into a deadly game where loyalty is currency and love is a weapon. The journal reveals a past soaked in betrayal - and a connection to Sin that is far more intimate, and far more damning, than she ever imagined. Because the truth isn't just about her mother. It's about who Zaria was born to become. And Sin intends to be the one who teaches her. In a world where power is taken and innocence is devoured, Zaria must choose: Remain the daughter her father tried to save... Or become the queen of the empire that was built in her blood.
