Camila Torres was the quintessential mafia wife, loyal, beautiful, and deadly silence. She gave her heart and her family's power to Xavier De Luca, never knowing she was a pawn in his ruthless drive for power. But pawns do get promoted to queens. Having weathered betrayal, poisoning, and a created scandal intended to assassinate her, Camila departs the De Luca dynasty with nothing, save for an ardent thirst for vengeance. Abetted by Lucien Marino, Xavier's most merciless rival, she begins anew from the ashes of her shattered existence. What she builds in its stead isn't only vengeance. It's a new empire, one on her terms. As Camila cuts through the world of crime with rage and calculation, enemies close in, allegiances crumble, and love hangs in the balance of violence. But one thing is certain, Camila won't stop until Xavier pays for every lie, every bruise, and every betrayal. She was their pawn. Now, she's their reckoning. In a world of blood and betrayal, she isn't just surviving, she's taking the throne.
