Eighteen-year-old Mavis Sokolo had no idea the nightmare she was about to embark on once she entered Russian court.

~ - ~ - ~ - ~
In a realm riddled with corruption and brutal power struggles, the hungry hills of Russia see the second son of the King, Prince Teo Volkov, rises through the line of succession to become the most feared and formidable ruler in Russian history. His relentless ambition and cunning nature propel him forward, leaving a trail of bloodshed and betrayal in his wake. Teo spares no one who stands in his path to the throne, eliminating rivals, traitors, and anyone who dares question his authority.
Meanwhile, Mavis Sokolo, a young woman from a prominent noble family, finds herself caught in the web of Teo's ambition. Arranged to marry the prince as a debt paid off, Natalya enters the court with trepidation and a heavy heart. Despite the tumultuous circumstances, Natalya possesses a kind and empathetic spirit, which sets her apart from the ruthless courtiers around her.
As Teo and Mavis' marriage unfolds, their relationship develops into something unexpected. Despite the cruelty and darkness surrounding them, Natalya's love and care manage to reach the depths of Ivan's hardened heart. She becomes his moral compass, guiding him toward a path of compassion and justice, even as they face the challenges of ruling a nation during a devastating famine.
With vivid historical detail, intricate characters, and a gripping narrative, "Crimson Thrones" immerses readers in a compelling tale of power, love, and redemption set against the backdrop of a famine-stricken Russia.
Nobody knew his last name, but they knew his name and also that he was the right hand of the most feared and powerful Mafia, not just in Russia, but in the entire world, and that was enough.
With a Greek God like body, he had women throwing themselves at him and he made sure to enjoy every bit of the attention that he got, for he was no saint, he was a player!
Apart from being the protagonist of every woman's wet dreams, he was also everything that a Mafia's right hand should have been.
He was ruthless. He was cruel. He was a fucking killing machine!
Everybody feared him and the only thing that he feared was...falling for his best friend's little sister.

Having seen enough bloodshed and violence all her life, her heart has turned cold, but the only time her heart warms up is...whenever she sees him.
Her childhood crush.
David...
But too bad, he sees her only as his best friend's baby sister...or so she thought.
