She was the girl stolen by silence. He was the boy who vowed to break it.
When Aria Vale was a child, her life was stolen-and so was her voice. Raised by strangers who masked cruelty as family, she's forgotten what love, freedom, and truth even feel like. Her world is quiet, not with peace, but with fear.
Until Lucian Blackthorne returns.
Once her childhood friend, now a billionaire cloaked in secrets and shadows, Lucian never stopped searching for the girl with haunted eyes. And when he finds her again, broken but breathing, he vows to protect her-even if it means burning his empire to the ground.
But as buried truths rise and enemies close in, Aria must face the ghosts of her past... and the fire of a love that refuses to die.
In a world where silence was her prison, Lucian might be the one to help her find her voice.
But some rescues come with a price-and some hearts were never meant to be safe.
