Queen of Ashes and Obsidian
Callista Drakos was born into a world ruled by violent men.
The daughter of Greece's most feared mafia king, she grew up surrounded by blood, betrayal, and power disguised as protection. In her father's empire, women were expected to be beautiful, obedient, and silent.
Callista became none of those things.
Behind cold silver eyes and perfect elegance hides a mind powerful enough to terrify governments. A self-made billionaire by nineteen, Callista secretly controls financial empires, underground networks, and a hidden organisation built in complete silence. While mafia families fight over territory, she controls the systems beneath them all.
Then, on the night her father's empire begins to collapse, she meets the only man who sees her for what she truly is.
Damianos Alexandris.
Dangerous. Untouchable. Brilliant.
A mafia king whose presence alone silences rooms, Damianos is everything Callista should avoid-ruthless, calculating, and powerful enough to destroy anyone who threatens him. But instead of fearing her intelligence, he's drawn to it.
And for the first time in her life, Callista stands beside a man who does not try to make her smaller.
Together, they become something the underworld has never seen before:
A king and queen powerful enough to burn empires to the ground.
But power comes with a price.
As old enemies rise and buried secrets begin to surface, Callista is forced to confront the painful truth about her family, her mother's death, and the darkness growing inside her. In a world where love is tangled with obsession, loyalty is bought with blood, and weakness gets people killed, she must decide who she is willing to become.
Because queens are not born.
They are forged through suffering.
And when Callista finally takes her throne-
The world will kneel.
