Captivity is a weapon. Desire is the trap.
Giulia Moretti's world shatters the night Marco Bellandi drags her into captivity. Trapped inside a fortress built on cruelty and obsession, she becomes the centerpiece of a war between rival empires and the prize Bellandi refuses to surrender.
Matteo Bianchi will burn cities, spill blood, and break every rule ever written to bring her home. But rescue is only the beginning. As old enemies fall and new ones rise from the ashes, Giulia must navigate the scars Bellandi left behind, the dangerous devotion of the man who saved her, and a future threatened by enemies who know exactly where to strike.
In a world where love and possession wear the same face, survival means learning which bonds can save you and which ones will destroy you.
In a world built on blood and obsession, surrender is never simple.
