Their Little Serpent

A young girl from poverty vanishes without a trace, and hardly anyone notices. Abducted and brutally conditioned, she is sold to a powerful Syndicate leader and his wife. Now, the foul-mouthed preteen must adapt to the ruthless world of the mafia-or find a way to escape before it's too late.

Vincenzo and Alessia Galanti have built an empire of fear and power. With four sons, a thriving criminal dynasty, and a reputation that sends shivers down the spines of their enemies, they seemingly have it all. Yet, as their children grow and start families of their own, an unshakable longing festers-a desire for a daughter.

When Alessia's repeated attempts to conceive end in heartbreak, a French-American broker sees an opportunity to climb the ranks. He moves swiftly, determined to deliver the perfect gift: a child they could mold into their own.

Elleana Browne was born with a rare form of bone cancer that stunted her growth, leaving her at just 3'9". She grew up in a cramped one-bedroom house with her mother and an ever-changing rotation of men. Despite her mother's struggles with addiction and sex work, she did what she could to care for Ellie. But love alone wasn't enough to keep her safe.

Now, trapped in a world where obedience is survival, Ellie faces an impossible choice-bend to the will of the Galanti or risk everything for freedom.

They want her as their little. What they bought was a serpent.
