Description
In the shadowed heart of Italy, where history bleeds into crime and the ruins of empires whisper secrets, there exists one man who owns every inch of the nation. His name is Dante Verozzi - a name modern enough to roll off the tongues of the young, but sharp enough to cut fear into the bones of old men. Dante is more than a Don. He is Italy's hidden king. From Naples to Rome, from Milan's skyscrapers to Sicily's dust-coated alleys, every deal, every bullet, every prayer in the streets bends to his will. His empire isn't just money and blood - it's culture, tradition, and silence. No one speaks against him. No one dares. But Dante has no queen. For all his power, all his empire, his throne is empty beside him. Some whisper it's by choice, others say no woman alive could match his fire. Until she arrives. A woman as dangerous as him, as cunning and as merciless. She doesn't bow. She doesn't kneel. She burns. Her empire is different, carved not in Italy but in shadows, in violence, in the kind of silence that kills. What happens when fire meets fire? Will the two most dangerous souls Italy has ever seen forge a dynasty that will drown the world in power and passion? Or will they destroy each other in a war of love and blood?
