I remember the moment my world cracked—when I stepped away from my sister’s arms and into the shadows of a man who whispered death like a promise. I left to save her. To make sure Grace would keep breathing even if I forgot how to.
What followed were nine months of silence and submission. Of darkness so complete, I forgot what light looked like. He owned my time. My thoughts. My body. The girl I had been unraveled strand by strand, until all that remained was survival.
And then… escape. The air burned as I ran. My heart beat louder than my footsteps. But freedom was brief—seconds, maybe—and I fell into the hands of another man. One who smiled like sunlight but held power like a blade. He offered safety with the same mouth that could command armies. His kingdom adored him, feared him, obeyed him.
But I saw it—the flicker of violence behind his gaze. The question I couldn’t escape: Was I still prey in a gilded cage? Or had I been pulled into something deeper… and far more dangerous?
He says he wants me.
But after everything… what’s left of me to give?
Inspired by the raw, visceral world of Death (Mafia Empire Book 3) by Michelle Heard , this is a deeply personal journey through ruin and redemption, where love is both a risk and a rescue, and where the hardest battle is learning to belong to yourself again.
