Liamas is a country with a diverse population of humans, Imperium, avians, and animal-people. The island of Liamas is covered in a sprawling city, with beautiful beaches, mountain ranges, and lush forests.
Lucas is a 19-year-old male who lives a somewhat normal life in Liamas. Taking care of his younger sister, going to work at the cafe, and conducting felonies after dark-- it's all just a day in his life. His imperium? The power to tell lies that almost anyone will believe.
Zac is a 21-year-old police detective with the ability to tell the truth from lies. His sister is dead. He seeks justice. His department is stuck on cases that are performed over a span of 70 years. Murders by the Amethyst Reaper.
Zac and Lucas team up, a criminal and a detective, searching for clues for several decades worth of murders. The two are pulled into a mystery that could reveal answers to questions no one had asked in centuries.
Gangs, magic, power-- something is chasing them, and closing in fast. Zac only sees the worst in people, Lucas sees the worst in the world. The underground organizations in Liamas are something he knows best.
The corrupt government hasn't said a thing about what lies under Liamas. What started out as a simple investigation has evolved into so much more.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore.

But when tragedy struck on a trip to Switzerland, taking their mothers' lives, everything shattered. Liam abandoned her when she needed him most, and the bond between them turned to bitterness. Now, at 25 and 28, they're trapped in a marriage neither wanted, orchestrated by the mafia ties that rule Ambra's life and the calculated ambitions of Liam's father. Ambra is fiery, stubborn, and haunted by the weight of her father's expectations, while Liam is a brooding enigma, his charm laced with darkness, his loyalty unwavering but selective. As they navigate their new life together, old wounds resurface, forcing them to confront the shared pain and resentment that has defined their relationship. Ambra's father, a ruthless mafia boss, sees her as a weapon, trained to kill but hidden behind a façade of elegance.

Amid the chaos of bloodlines and betrayal, Ambra and Liam are drawn to each other in ways neither can ignore.
