Catalyst

Alessia does not want peace. She wants an unpaid debt settled in blood.

Half-Black, half-Asian, and entirely driven by a cold, calculated rage, she has spent years training to destroy the high-hierarchy mafia family that murdered her father.

To get close enough to strike, she infiltrates their territory, only to find herself trapped in a dangerous position-chosen as the primary wife of the syndicate's sadistic heir. Locked inside a mansion filled with hostile, jealous co-wives, Alessia has to use her intellect and martial arts training just to survive the day.

But the night brings an unexpected variable. During a secret midnight training session, she crosses paths with a mysterious fighter. He is disciplined, calm, and moves with a fluid precision that counters her raw aggression.

As alliances shift and a massive family secret about her father's past comes to light, Alessia realizes she is no longer just looking for an escape. She is the single element capable of triggering a violent reaction that will tear the entire empire apart.
