1929. One year has passed since the events of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. As Gellert Grindelwald continues his rise to power and the wizarding world moves ever closer to war, a young man lives in the Sicilian countryside who should not even be alive. Alessio is an Obscurial. Since he was a child, he has lived with a powerful dark force that should have consumed him many years ago. And yet, he survived. Raised by Aldred, a house-elf who has protected and guided him throughout his life, Alessio has always waited for an answer to a question that has haunted him for years: what is his place in the wizarding world? When an omen announces the arrival of a mysterious dragon capable of influencing the fate of the world, Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, and Nicolas Flamel are led to Sicily. But what they find will not be just a Fantastic Beast. Amid prophecies, magical creatures, and a dragon tied to the fate of the world, Alessio's path will become intertwined with those of Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. And as war draws nearer, one question becomes increasingly important: Can an Obscurial become the salvation of the wizarding world instead of its destruction?

They did the impossible. They got their children back. But the girl with Selera's eyes screams for a mother who's long dead. The boy cries for a father he learned to fear. For two years a stranger raised them, planted his name in their hearts, taught them who to love - and now Leyna and Milan see in their own parents only the intruders who took everything from them. Selera learned how to storm a fortress. But how do you storm the heart of a child who doesn't know you? How do you teach a little girl that the word Mama belongs to her? And while two broken marriages slowly become a family again - a laugh, a first hesitant Papa, a small hand that reaches for her in the night - they believe, for one breath, that the worst is behind them. They're wrong. Because in a world of blood and twenty-year-old debts, no peace comes for free. And some shots are fired in the exact moment you finally have something to lose again. How far would you go to win back the heart of your own child - and to save the ones who throw themselves in front of the bullet for you?

Two years ago, Selera and Seylin lost everything their hearts ever beat for. Ever since, they've been searching - restless, in vain, alone. Their marriages to the most dangerous men in Sicily shattered under the weight of it; all that remains is a single thought that won't let them sleep at night. Then a mark resurfaces, one that should have stayed buried long ago - and the trail leads to a name that makes even the Costas freeze. To reclaim what was taken from them, four people who lost each other long ago must come together one last time. But in a world of blood, revenge, and twenty-year-old secrets, nothing stays hidden for long. How far would you go to get back what was stolen from you?

They ran from the world - and straight into the arms of the most dangerous family in Sicily. Selera and Seylin survived what should have broken them. But an old enemy rises from the shadow of the Costas - and he comes from inside. While the men wage open war, the women wage one of their own, in secret. They thought them weak. Prey. But a Costa doesn't run. A Costa hunts.

Two years. That's how long Selera and Seylin have been gone. That's how long the Costa brothers have not stopped searching for them. When the two cousins one day simply walk back through the door of the villa in Palermo, nothing is the way it was before. Raiden and Darian have grown colder, more dangerous - and the women who once jumped from a cliff to escape them carry a secret with them that could destroy everything. Because what happened in those two years changed Selera and Seylin forever. Something that makes them scream at night. Something no one is allowed to find out. But in a world of power, blood, and revenge, secrets never stay hidden for long. And when the past catches up with the two women, the Costa brothers have to choose: between the rules of a world that forgives no weakness - and the love for two women they would burn everything down for.

One brother rules the shadows. The other rules the free world! When a legendary enforcer is executed in Italy, and a commercial airliner is blown out of the sky, the Valenti empire faces total annihilation. A coordinated hit leaves the patriarch, Vincenzo, permanently confined to a wheelchair - but far from a defeated man. To survive a multi-front war, Vincenzo makes a dangerous, norm-defying choice, naming his brilliant, closeted son as the heir apparent to the family syndicate. But the family's ultimate play isn't happening on the streets - it's happening in Washington, D.C. As Vincenzo's second son climbs the political ladder as a Vice Presidential candidate, a shocking assassination leaves the President dead and a Valenti in the Oval Office. With two rookie NYPD siblings caught in the crossfire of their own family's secrets, the line between absolute legitimacy and absolute corruption is erased forever.
