They took his life before it even began. At ten years old, Lucifer Banchieri was thrown into a cage for a crime he didn't commit. Twenty years later, the innocent boy is dead, replaced by a "demon" who has turned his prison cell into the throne of a global mafia empire. He doesn't just run a business from the inside; he is a master of the human mind, a manipulator who has spent two decades learning how to break the very system that broke him.
He is finally ready to watch it all burn.
Then Rose Sinclair walks through the iron gates.
Rose is a flicker of light in a world of absolute shadow.... an innocent who has no idea she's just stepped into the center of a brewing war. When their eyes lock, the impact is visceral. Lucifer sees a soul he can use, a mind he can read like an open book.
Rose, caught in the magnetic pull of a man she doesn't yet understand, feels an inexplicable, terrifying certainty: He is the one.
But as their worlds collide, the twists begin to unravel. Rose has no idea she is a pawn in a game that started twenty years ago. In a place where walls have ears and every shadow hides a secret, the truth is more dangerous than the crime.
Lucifer is planning to destroy the world outside.
Rose is just trying to survive the man who owns the world inside.
