The Echos of Scars (English Version)
They stole her childhood. She forged her revenge. But survival... is learning to love. Lyra thought she'd left everything behind when she fled Russia: the chains of a ruthless cartel, the orders of a soulless father, and the muffled cries of a stolen life. But some ghosts cross borders. Replicated in Spain under a new identity, she can no longer flee when the past comes back to strike. Hard. And bloody. Madrid becomes the scene of a deadly game where alliances waver, where underground war rumbles, and where the legend of a faceless specter resurfaces: the Devil's Daughter. Between betrayals, strategies, and desperate missions, Lyra must face her destiny... and an enemy she never dared to face: her own family. In the midst of this chaos, Draven, a Madrid lawyer with an all-too-honest gaze, will break through all her defenses. He has nothing to do with her world. And yet, he will be her truth in the midst of turmoil. But love when you're made of blades and silence... is it even possible? As blood flows, masks fall, and secrets turn like double-edged swords, Lyra, Isaak, Ash, Nox, and Skylar will have to make a choice: revenge, or freedom. Because sometimes, the greatest fight... isn't against others. It's against the scars we carry within.
