When professional thief Isla Moretti steals a seemingly ordinary ledger, she unknowingly sets off a chain reaction of bloodshed and betrayal. The ledger contains the darkest secrets of the DeLuca crime family, making her the prime target of Luca DeLuca, the ruthless mafia heir determined to recover it at all costs. Expecting to be killed, Isla is instead given a blood oath—an unbreakable contract binding her to Luca until the ledger is found. Forced to work together, they uncover a disturbing truth: someone inside the DeLuca family orchestrated the theft, and a hidden enemy is playing them both. As Isla and Luca navigate the dangerous underworld, they face assassination attempts, double-crosses, and their own growing attraction. Isla, determined to escape, discovers that the ledger holds more than financial secrets—it contains the key to a secret fortune that could destroy every mafia family in the city. Just as Isla begins to trust Luca, she learns a devastating truth—her mysterious employer, the one who hired her for the heist, was using her as a pawn all along. Meanwhile, Luca’s suspicions are confirmed when a close ally betrays him, selling them both out to a powerful rival mafia. When Isla is captured by the enemy, Luca is forced to confront his feelings—he doesn’t just need her for the ledger; he wants her alive. Waging war to get her back, he discovers that their true enemy isn’t just after the ledger—they want to wipe out the entire DeLuca family and take over the underworld. With enemies closing in, Isla and Luca are left with one choice: join forces or die apart. Their uneasy alliance turns into something deeper as they realize that trusting each other is their only way out. In a final gambit, Isla risks her life to destroy the ledger forever, ensuring that no one—not Luca, not their enemies—can use it for power. But the price is high—Luca’s family turns against him for choosing Isla over their empire. With everything stacked against them, Isla and Luca make their final stand together, tearing down their enemies one by one. In the end, Luca claims his rightful place as the king of the underworld, but with one crucial difference—Isla is standing beside him, not as his captive, but as his equal. Because in the mafia, love isn’t a fairytale—it’s a blood oath.

For twenty years, Arawn has spent every day in magic-dampening prisons. The latest being the Gutter, a place for the worst the human kind has to offer. Haunted by memories of the past and overwhelming power he cannot control, Arawn wishes for nothing more than to rot away in the darkness, far from the fragile humans he might hurt. Yet a new criminal is sent to the Gutter. He’s lively, alert, and too self-assured to just let himself die in a dingy cell. The moment he notices Arawn’s fascination with the outside world, he showers him in tales about its beauty and warmth, something very opposite to the dark cell they now inhabit. Slowly, a long dead sprout of curiosity rises its head within Arawn. But are abominations like him even allowed in the outside world? Wouldn’t he be smited by the gods the moment he took a step out? He would do it, if he were them. --- If you want to chat about the novel or ask me anything, visit my discord ^^ https://discord.gg/ZegeFhH
