They were five when their fathers, two of the most powerful mafia dons in Italy shook hands and forged an alliance sealed in blood. That same day, Nico Barone met the quiet little boy who would one day ruin him. Allessandro Moretti was shy, Sweet and innocent. Nico thought he needed protecting. But years passed, and everything flipped. Now Nico is nineteen (soon turning twenty), disciplined, dangerous, the heir to a legacy soaked in blood. With a future laid out before him in iron and gold. Alless? He's eighteen, tall, gorgeous, and absolutely unhinged beneath that soft-spoken smile. And completely, irrevocably obsessed. To Nico, he's still just his childhood best friend who was just "clingy" To Alless? Nico is the altar, the sacrifice, the god, the obsession. When an arranged marriage with the French mafia threatens to tear them apart, blood spills and madness blooms. Because Alless doesn't let go. He doesn't forgive. And he doesn't share. Love was never going to save them. But it just might destroy everyone else. "A PRAYER FOR THE BARONE HEIR🖤" This is a dark romance, not a guide for healthy love. Characters are morally grey (or fully unhinged), and the relationships portrayed are intense, twisted, and not always safe. And its a BL so...🖤🖤

When the world falls apart, sometimes the only thing more dangerous than power... is feeling something. In a future torn by Rifts-portals that spill monsters and unstable energy into the world-only the gifted survive. At Helix Academy, elemental warriors are trained to fight back. Among them: Akshara, a fire-wielder whose flames turned blue the day she lost everything, and Aryan, a lightning-born prodigy shaped by betrayal and silence. They weren't meant to fight side by side. They weren't meant to get close. But destiny has other plans. As the Ascension Cup, a deadly national tournament, pushes them to their limits, a powerful bond sparks between them-fiery, fragile, and forbidden. With secrets rising, rivals watching, and betrayal lurking beneath the surface... they'll have to choose: Win the war outside, or face the storm within. Because sometimes, the heart is the most dangerous battlefield of all.
