20 parts Ongoing She lived for faith. He lived for sin.
Eighteen-year-old Elena Rossi has never known anything but devotion-her days spent volunteering at the parish, her nights filled with prayers for a better world. Pure, untouched, and stubbornly hopeful, she is a flicker of light in a city consumed by shadows.
Dante Moretti is that shadow. At fifty years old, he rules the underworld with iron fists and bloodied hands, a man no one dares defy. To the world, he is untouchable. To the church, he is a silent benefactor, laundering his empire's sins through its walls.
When Elena crosses him-daring to challenge his man in the open-she captures his attention. Not because she defies him. But because she is everything he cannot corrupt... yet.
He funds her life, cloaks her in luxury, and builds her gilded cage. To everyone else, she is blessed. To Elena, she is possessed.
God may have claimed her soul. But Dante Moretti has already claimed her body.
