The Mafia Consigliere: Where Loyalty and Ambition Collide
Naples simmers with violence. Don Enzo Leone, the aging patriarch of the La Mano Nera syndicate, clings to power while his health crumbles. Luca Di Marco, "Il Lupo," the Don's ruthless enforcer, enforces La Mano Nera's dominance with an iron fist, but whispers of betrayal echo through the city's back alleys.
Ambition ignites a war. Luciano, Enzo's power-hungry son, makes a reckless move that sparks a bloody conflict with a rival family, La Volpe Astuta, led by the cunning Donatella Rossi. As Naples erupts in violence, Luca finds himself caught in a web of lies and deceit. Can he trust Luciano, the Don's only son and most likely heir to the throne? Or is Adriana, the Don's ruthless daughter, the true serpent in their midst?
Betrayal cuts deep. With the Don incapacitated and the family fractured, Luca uncovers a shocking truth that threatens to tear La Mano Nera apart. A single gunshot shatters the uneasy peace, leaving a trail of blood and a horrifying question: Who will inherit the throne, and at what cost?
Delve into a world of violence, family secrets, and the brutal price of power. Read The Mafia Consigliere today and discover where loyalty ends and ambition begins.

Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
