He inherited a throne of blood. She inherited a cage of silence.
At just 18, Lucien Nerezza becomes the don of the Nerezza mafia empire cold-eyed, sharp-tongued, and feared for crimes he didn't ask to lead. They call him heartless. Reckless. Dangerous. But they don't know that the death of his father didn't just leave a legacy it left a wound.
Elara Amara Virelle was never meant to be seen.
Sheltered by her overbearing brothers after a threat nearly destroyed her, she's lived behind the walls of illusion, mistaken for fragile a girl made of glass. But Elara is no stranger to shadows. She just hides her fire behind silk and sorrow.
When fate drags her into Lucien's world bullets, secrets, and betrayal their collision is inevitable.
He's the storm everyone fears.
She's the calm no one saw coming.
And together? They're everything the world tried to destroy.
In a world where power means everything, and trust can kill, can two misjudged souls rewrite their own definitions or will the past bleed through the present before they get the chance?
