In the blood-stained empire of the Four Wolves, Viktor Dragunav thrives on chaos and carnage. A ruthless killer with sea-green eyes and a sadist's grin, he's a predator who paints his legacy in red. When Ivy Majewski's father is executed by Viktor's own cousin, the mafia's coldest king, her world burns to ash. But Ivy is no fragile prey. With fox-like cunning and a heart forged in grief, she vows to tear down the empire that stole her father - starting with Viktor.
Viktor's orders are clear: if Ivy steps out of line, her blood will be his next masterpiece. Yet, her defiance ignites something darker in him - a hunger that blurs the line between destruction and desire. Every move she makes is a dance on a knife's edge, and every glance he returns is a spark in a powder keg. As vengeance and obsession collide, their game becomes a wildfire neither can control.
In a world where loyalty is a lie and love is a blade, can Ivy wield her pain to break a monster like Viktor? Or will she be consumed by the flames of his cruel empire?
The second book in the Divine Menace series, Baptism by Fire is a scorching tale of revenge, forbidden passion, and a woman's battle to turn a killer's heart into her weapon.
