They buried the truth six years ago.
They were wrong.
The DeMarco name has always meant power, blood, and loyalty. When their mother is murdered inside their own home, the brothers know it's an act of war. When their youngest sister, Octavia, vanishes the same night, they believe it's a wound they will never survive.
They search.
They wait.
They take revenge where they can.
But Octavia is not dead.
For six years, she is kept hidden in the dark-moved, broken, erased-until her body begins to fail and the man who stole her makes one fatal mistake.
When the DeMarcos finally find her, she is nothing like the girl they lost. And the enemies who thought their sins were buried soon learn a brutal truth:
Blood remembers.
Family never forgets.
And vendettas are inherited.
Emilia Morelli's world shatters when she's told her mother has died. Left with no family, well at least none that she knows of, she's pulled into a system that sees her as just another case. She's alone and unsure of herself.
But far away, there are men who have been searching for her. Men who share her name. Men who are feared by the world.
They've spent years looking for the little girl who was taken from them. Now that they've found her, they'll stop at nothing to bring her home.
Emilia doesn't know them. She doesn't know the truth.
And she has no idea that her life is about to change forever.
