In the heart of Miami's glittering underbelly, Percival Graves rules as a kingpin with a velvet smile and a steel heart. From the neon pulse of his club, Nuevo Paraíso, to the blood-stained docks of his empire, he's the master of every deal, every bullet, every whispered fear. But in a world where power is a blade, even kings bleed.
When the Gala of the Crimson Veil-a deadly dance of the world's criminal elite-ignites betrayals and buries allies, Percy's iron grip falters. A shadow looms:"El Traficante de Almas," a devil who deals in souls and secrets, with eyes fixed on Percy's throne. As enemies close in-cartel queens, FBI traps, and old favela ghosts-Percy wields charm and violence to stay untouchable, his loyal best friend and Miami's #1 hitwoman Sabrina Starr at his side, their bond a fire that burns too close to love.
But darkness has a price. A devastating strike leaves Percy spiraling-rum-soaked, reckless, and dancing with chaos in the arms of a dangerous temptress. Sabrina, Miami's deadliest, fights her own battles, her heart torn between loyalty and a past that won't stay buried. In Roguetown's seedy shadows, a scarred stranger offers salvation-or betrayal-his gaze sparking a hunger she can't trust.
From gilded ballrooms to ash-choked alleys, Beneath The Devil's Halo is a pulse-pounding saga of power, passion, and vengeance. Secrets unravel, empires crack, and every choice is a gamble with blood. Will Percy and Sabrina conquer the lions' den, or will their thrones burn to ash?
Dive into a world where trust is a bullet, love is a blade, and the only way out is through. Perfect for fans of gritty crime dramas, steamy romances, and heart-stopping twists. Are you ready to play the game?
