"I have to believe that she'll wake up. I have to believe in her." ___ Thalia Vidal is alive, if you can call it that. Tommy throws himself into unraveling the deeper mystery of the reason as to why the love of his life was nearly murdered. Past and present collide for the Peaky Blinders in this harrowing sequel to ROARING.

Isabella, (Bella), Kingsley was used to living a quiet, sheltered life in New York City. When her father decides to open a branch of his company in Birmingham, England and makes his desire known to bring the whole family with him, Bella has her reservations, but is excited about the prospect of traveling as was her dream since childhood. Her fears soon catch up with her when she is thrown into the lives of the Shelby family against her will. Bella is left with a difficult choice to make: help Thomas Shelby with his nefarious business and face the consequences or ignore his demands at the price of possible harm to her family.

𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐀 liked to remain a mystery. It's what kept her safe; sane. The only thing that kept her in the shadows, along with the whisperings of her little birds feeding her their secrets. The war was her escape, and Small Heath was her safe haven, as ironic as it might sound. But with games and enigmas being her armour, one certain crime boss can't stop his mind from working over time to unravel her mysteries to find the truth underneath.
