The Blood In Her Name

She wears glasses to hide her eyes.
Keeps her head down. Stays quiet.
They all think she's just a pretty, silent nerd.
But Ellena Montefalco was born for war.

She's 22, half-Russian, half-Filipina, and hiding in plain sight at Golden University-Manila's most prestigious school, where the rich and dangerous play their cruelest games.

What no one knows?

She's the daughter of a murdered Russian mafia prince.
She's a trained fighter who can take down a man twice her size.
And she's being hunted.

As secrets unravel and her past catches up, Ellena finds herself surrounded by powerful men:

Xander King, the British top model who just moved into the mansion across from hers.

Peter Dimitri, the golden-eyed playboy doctor with ties to her mother's past.

Eric Lockhart, the cold heir to Golden University who always seems to be watching.

And behind them all, the shadows of the Russo mafia-a family that once ruled the underworld... and now might need her to survive.

But she doesn't want power.
She just wants peace.
Too bad peace died the moment she was born.

Some girls dream of a crown. Ellena? She inherited a blood war.
And there's no backing out now.
