Daughter of Silence

Athena Moretti was never meant to disappear.

The first daughter born into the Italian Moretti dynasty in generations vanished at three years old, taken in the aftermath of a violent divorce and erased from a world that still whispers her name. Seven brothers grew up mourning a sister they were never allowed to search for.

Eighteen years later, Athena Moretti does exist but just not as the girl they lost.

She is a doctor now. Distant. Brilliant. Untouchable. Guarded by people no one dares question, for reasons no one is allowed to ask. Her past is sealed tight, spoken of only in silences and scars.

When a failed alliance leaves the Moretti family bleeding on foreign ground, the only person trusted to save them is a woman with blonde hair and mismatched eyes.

The moment the Don sees her, recognition hits like a gunshot.

She is his daughter.

But blood does not grant access and before Athena learns who she truly is, the Morettis must uncover what happened during the eighteen years they lost... and decide whether the princess they remember is someone who still wants to be found
