Secrets cut deeper than any blade. Love can be the most dangerous obsession of all. Giulia Moretti escapes her captivity carrying more than scars-a secret that could spark a war and change their world forever. As whispers of betrayal spread through the Bianchi empire, enemies circle like vultures and every move risks exposing the fragile life she's fighting to protect. Matteo Bianchi will burn cities to keep Giulia safe, but even his power can't silence the ghosts of their past. Old rivals resurface, allies fracture, and one misstep could cost them everything they've bled to build. Yet amid the chaos, passion becomes their refuge, binding them tighter than fear can break. Together they carve out a fragile peace-proof that love can bloom even in blood and shadows-though the war around them is far from over.
