Gaelic Negroe

Elise has never been enslaved-but she's lived her entire life preparing for it.

Raised by a mother stolen from her homeland and forced into bondage, Elise grows up under rules shaped by fear that never fades. Watch the shadows. Stay close. Trust no one.

But when that fear proves justified and betrayal strikes closer than she ever imagined, survival is no longer just caution-it's action.

With her brothers pushing her to be stronger, faster, harder to break, Elise begins to fight for more than safety.

Then she meets Finn-and for the first time, survival isn't the only thing within reach.

But hope comes at a cost.

Because the past doesn't stay buried.

And neither does blood.
