Ash And Ruin

The fire didn't kill her. It forged her.

Genesis Vitale has fulfilled her promise. The "polished obsidian halls" of the Vitale estate are nothing but a smoking ruin, and the bridges to her past have been reduced to ash. But in the wreckage of the old world, a terrifying new one has emerged.

The King is no longer a ghost. Enzo's father, Vincenzo, has returned from a twenty-year grave, and he hasn't come for a reunion-he's come to claim the pieces of the empire his son and "Little Bird" shattered. He is the architect of their pain, the man who played a three-year game of cat and mouse with their lives, and he isn't finished yet.

To protect her son, Genesis must now play a deadlier game. She has traded her 9mm for a seat at the head of the Commission and her fear for a cold, tactical ruthlessness that even Enzo finds chilling. But as they hunt the man who truly started the war-the grandfather who sold her soul before she was born-the truth about her bloodline begins to surface.

The secret isn't just in the treaty. It's in her.

From the frozen peaks of the Alps to the blood-stained streets of Milan, Genesis and Enzo are no longer running from the dark. They are the dark. But as the "Dead King" tightens his grip and the final debt comes due, they must decide: will they rule the ruins together, or will the fire they started consume them both?

The bridges are gone. The war is eternal. And this time, there is no escape from the throne.
