Reign of the Don

She came to the throne as collateral. Now she must keep it with blood, cunning, and vows that cut deeper than any blade.

The war for Palermo is over - and the real fight is just beginning. After surviving betrayals, kidnappings, and the fall of a rival dynasty, Aria Costa stands at Dominic's side not as a captive but as a queen. Together they rebuilt an empire out of smoke and ash, bound by scars and a vow to protect the city they've claimed.

But power invites predators. A dead-man's crown of ash appears on their warehouses, a signature of a shadowy new enemy who knows Dominic's streets, his history, and the fragile seams of their rule. Enemies old and older rise from the ruins - rival heirs, international syndicates, and ghosts from the Don's own past - and they will do anything to tear the Costas down.

To save Palermo, Aria must become more than Dominic's wife. She must be his partner in war - a strategist, a weapon, and the voice of the people who will not kneel. As alliances fracture and new betrayals surface, she and Dominic will have to decide what kind of empire they want to leave behind... and what they are willing to burn in order to keep it.
