After the war in The Empire We Burn, the Rossi family stands victorious-but at a devastating cost. With enemies slain and traitors exposed, Antonio Rossi should feel secure in his power. Instead, he faces an empire on the brink of collapse, allies questioning their loyalty, and ghosts from his past refusing to stay buried.
As new power players emerge to challenge the Rossis, Antonio must confront the harsh truth-he may have won the war, but he is losing everything else. Isabella sees the cracks forming and makes her own play for control, while Marco Ricci is forced to choose between protecting the family or saving himself.
In a world where loyalty is fleeting, and blood is the only currency that matters, the Rossis must decide: Will they hold onto their throne, or will they bury it beneath the weight of their own sins?
