La Rosa Nera, the black rose
Beautiful, deadly with thornes.
Underboss. Addict. Hacker.
She built her empire from ashes and bloodline, no rivalry that she has not already destroyed, just the past that haunts her.
But when her warehouses are raided and a masked ghost from her past appears in the footage, everything spirals.
The man she once loved, the man who vanished four years ago, is back. And this time, he's playing for war. Not for her.
𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐎
Exiled heir. Moscow's nightmare.
He was forced to leave, believing she was the one who betrayed him.
Now he's back to take, to claim his throne, his legacy and someone that was taken from him long ago.
He returns with an army, a vendetta, and a kingdom rebuilt in his name.
A boy, reverent and soft turned to a man cruel and unwavering.
Missions clash, alliances form and war rises.
One betrayal is never enough for a story as violent as theirs.
Lies that deceive, ecstasy that trails in veins and love that pounds in hearts.
