A Queen Among Wolves In a world ruled by ruthless men, power is taken, not given. For twenty-two years, Amara Moretti lived in the shadows of a dangerous legacy, unaware that her bloodline tied her to one of the most feared mafia empires in the country. When the sudden death of her estranged father throws the underworld into chaos, she finds herself at the center of a brutal war for the throne. The mafia families see her as weak. A pawn. A woman who can be manipulated, married off, or eliminated. They are wrong. Surrounded by enemies disguised as allies, Amara is forced to navigate a world of betrayal, bloodshed, and deadly secrets. Every move she makes is watched by wolves waiting for her to fail. Among them is Luca De Santis—a feared mafia king with a reputation for violence and a gaze that sees straight through her defenses. Their alliance is supposed to be temporary. Their attraction is supposed to be impossible. But as rival families close in and old betrayals come to light, Amara and Luca find themselves fighting a war on two fronts: one for power and one for their hearts. In a kingdom built on blood, loyalty is rare, trust is dangerous, and love can be the deadliest weapon of all. To survive, Amara must become more than a queen. She must become the wolf they never saw coming.
