When Lucia and Lorenza are only three years old, the Russian mafia tears them from their home, erasing their past and thrusting them into a world ruled by fear and blood. Clinging to each other, the twins survive as best they can-until, at seven, Lucia orchestrates a daring plan to have them adopted by the French mafia, hoping to give Lorenza a life of protection and freedom. But safety eludes Lucia. Before Gabriel Gaspard can adopt her and offer her a life of warmth and security, she is taken elsewhere-remade into something unrecognizable. Trained as a killer, forged through pain, and stripped of her childhood, Lucia learns obedience only through suffering, her innocence buried beneath skill, strategy, and lethal precision. At twelve, she accomplishes the impossible: she escapes. Broken yet unbowed, she finds her way back to Lorenza, now thriving under the protection of five formidable French mafia brothers. Alongside them are four loyal friends from the orphanage, children who, like Lucia, survived without family-but now have one they can call their own. By seventeen, the twins are drawn back into the orbit of their seven biological brothers, heirs to an empire grown darker, deadlier, and more cunning with every passing year. Tensions flare when the family discovers Lorenza's love-a man whose very presence threatens to unravel everything they have built. Arguments erupt, alliances fracture, and fear coils tight around every heart in the room. But while they argue over the danger standing beside Lorenza, the man by Lucia's side is a force all others fear: a legend in the shadows of the underworld, whispered about even among kings of crime. And as the layers of her secrets are peeled back, the family will finally see the truth-the deadliest threat has never been outside the family. It has been hiding in plain sight all along.

'There are only two ways to survive in my world: kill or be killed. And as far as I'm concerned, they don't plan on killing me anytime soon...' Athena Everford understands pain better than most people understand love. At seventeen, she has memorized it. The rhythm of footsteps in a hallway. The warning in a voice before it changes. The way bruises bloom and fade. Patterns are comforting. They make chaos predictable. She could have left her foster home at any time. She chose not to. When her foster parents die, the silence feels wrong. Too wide. Too empty. A DNA test reveals she is the missing daughter of one of the most powerful Italian Mafia families in the world. They welcome her back with warmth and relief, mistaking her stillness for fragility. They think they rescued a broken girl. They did not. Athena is the Donna of the Greek Mafia, ruling from the shadows while men pretend to hold power. She is Nyx, an assassin spoken about only in whispers. Control is everything. Pain is useful. It sharpens her. Grounds her. Keeps the emptiness away. Then a man from her past returns. Quiet. Patient. He understands that her tolerance for suffering is not endurance. It is appetite. He does not try to destroy her. He gives her what she wants. As her family watches the subtle shift in her smile, Athena begins to blur the line between survival and desire, between punishment and permission. The question is not whether she can escape the darkness. It is whether she ever intended to. Start date: 12/07/2026 Finish date: ??
