"The shock on my face was real. It was probably the only time in the past two hundred years where a reaction was actually real, but I couldn't catch it soon enough this time. Of course, being her protégé came with the obvious assumption that I would soon succeed her, but I hadn't expected the fall of Hàlhein to speed the process up so quickly. If anything, I'd assumed she'd have even more reason to consolidate control Hronden and prevent any potential problems--such as myself--from getting in her way. Needless to say, she'd probably change her mind about me pretty soon--if this wasn't a set up. With Cyra, it was impossible to tell."
After the events of the Gate of Halhein, Terra is in chaos. Dracon's advances become more aggressive, while a mysterious Paradigm traverses the land and poses a major threat to the forces of wickedness. Cyra, supreme Empress of the Siren Empire, launches a fierce offensive to permanently alter the realities of the human world and completely consolidate power. Meanwhile, her protégé and successor, Savrina, embarks on a dangerous mission to cripple Cyra's empire from within. The Blue Rose meets the Red Witch in an epic showdown that will determine the course of Terra's future.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
