Shadows Between Us

*Lyra Drakos*

Lyra Drakos grew up in Athens as the daughter of Nikolas Drakos, a powerful man in the mafia world. Unlike many people around her, Lyra is kind, gentle, and compassionate. Many people mistake her sweetness for weakness, but she is much stronger than she appears.

Lyra is extremely observant and remembers everything she hears and sees. Growing up around dangerous people forced her to mature quickly. She understands Italian because she was often made to sit in on meetings between her father and Italian families.

Even though the world around her is harsh, Lyra refuses to let it change the person she is.

*Dante Moretti*

Dante Moretti is the heir to the Moretti family in Rome. Known for his calm and controlled personality, Dante rarely shows emotion and always thinks before he acts. His quiet confidence and sharp mind make him someone many people fear and respect.

Dante believes loyalty is the most important thing in his world. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, people listen.

When Lyra Drakos and Dante Moretti cross paths, their lives begin to change in ways neither of them expected.
