Iron Heel

Gloria Ibiso is a young soldier working for the infamous Black Lotus syndicate in Salvador, Brazil, and goes hunting for loot during a rowdy festival but soon awakes to find herself halfway across the world-in China, bound, bruised, and disoriented after picking the wrong target.

Her captor is Dara, the calm yet calculating leader of the Scarlet Clan-a figure of eerie charm and towering authority who rules with quiet cruelty and an iron hand.

Forced into servitude under Dara's watchful eye, Gloria must rely on her quick wit, speed, and unyielding defiance to survive in a ruthless world of luxury and blood. But escape is never simple-especially when every ally conceals an agenda and every mistake could cost her life.

With the help of Afonso, a scarred ally with motives of his own, Gloria begins to plot her way out. Yet in a city built on silence and secrets, one wrong move could turn hunter into hunted.

As greed corrodes the Scarlet Clan from within, Gloria is thrust into the heart of the chaos-caught in a storm that will end with Dara's downfall and an unexpected final strike.
From Salvador's alleys to Shanghai's shadows, Gloria Ibiso fights to stay alive-an underdog daring to take on the untouchable.

It's not just bravery, It's just in her nature.
