She Crawled Out of the Flames That Destroyed Her Family and Was Crowned Queen

Ten years ago, on that night, a fire broke out at the Castellano estate.

When Mavis crawled out through a gap in the flames, corpses littered the ground behind her, and endless darkness stretched out before her. No one knew she was alive, and no one believed she could survive.

Ten years later, a Countess Deveran arrived at an estate outside Milan: a young widow who kept to herself and spoke with impeccable manners. High society took her for just another aristocratic widow seeking a change of scenery.

No one knew who she was.

But Milan’s underworld was quietly crumbling. The docks in Catania were raided one after another, the casinos in Daclay changed hands one after another, and Vitori’s accounts were leaked one after another. Every trail led to the same person, yet there was no evidence she even existed. She was collecting seven keys, each tied to a different desire, each leading to deeper power. And her true purpose had never been just revenge.

She would make all of Milan remember one name: Castellano.

When night falls, the queen returns.
