The Queen's Prisoner

Lisa Manobal was once the feared daughter of a fallen mafia family. After her clan loses a brutal territory war, she is captured and taken to the mansion of Jennie Kim-the newly crowned queen of Seoul's most powerful crime empire.

Jennie expects her prisoner to beg for mercy.

Lisa refuses to kneel.

Cold, defiant, and dangerously intelligent, Lisa knows secrets that could expose the traitor hiding inside Jennie's organization. Instead of killing her, Jennie keeps Lisa captive and forces her to help uncover the enemy threatening the empire from within.

But trust is impossible between them.

Jennie sees Lisa as a ruthless enemy who would betray her at the first opportunity. Lisa sees Jennie as a merciless queen hiding behind wealth, power, and a crown built on blood. Every conversation becomes a battle. Every touch feels like a threat. And every moment they spend together makes the line between hatred and desire more difficult to recognize.

When an attack leaves Jennie's empire on the edge of collapse, Lisa becomes the only person capable of saving her. As they face assassins, family secrets, and betrayal from someone they both once trusted, the queen and her prisoner are forced into an alliance neither of them wants.

But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Lisa was not captured by chance.

Jennie may not be the true enemy.

And the prisoner who was supposed to remain behind bars may be the only person capable of bringing the queen to her knees.

In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and love can be used as a weapon, Jennie and Lisa must decide what they are willing to sacrifice: the throne, their families, or each other.
