ROSALIE
I entered Dante Rinaldi's world in chains.
Now powerful men sit across the table and listen when I speak.
The ledger has exposed the betrayal that destroyed both our families, and the empire around us is tearing itself apart. Dante has spent a decade preparing for vengeance. I intend to make sure he gets it.
But this war won't be won by bullets alone.
I know where our enemies hide their money. I know which alliances are cracking. I know exactly which lies will turn powerful men against each other until their kingdoms collapse from within.
Dante gave me the skills to survive his world.
I found my own way to conquer it.
He is still ruthless, possessive, and capable of terrible things. He is also the man I choose beside me when everything finally burns.
I was once the captive in his empire.
Now I'm helping decide who gets buried beneath its ruins.
DANTE
For ten years, vengeance was the only thing that kept me alive.
Now I finally have the names, the proof, and the woman who turned my war into something far more lethal.
Rosalie has become magnificent in the darkness.
The quiet archivist I once locked inside my home can dismantle alliances with a whisper, drain fortunes from behind a screen, and stand among killers without lowering her eyes. I taught her how to survive violence. She taught herself how to command it.
Together, we are closing in on the men responsible for everything we lost.
My uncle. The Morettis. The traitor who stood close enough to call himself family.
There will be no forgiveness waiting at the end of this war. No clean hands. No peaceful reckoning.
Only vengeance.
