Ashes of Empire

Vespera D’Angelis is the wealthiest and most feared mafia boss on Earth—commanding an empire built on blood, brilliance, and betrayal. He has everything... except the woman he loves.



Three years ago, Liora—Vespera’s only weakness—was killed in a hit meant to punish the kingpin’s defiance. No amount of power or wealth could undo death... until Vespera learns of a forbidden path to the Underrealm, where the souls of the dead linger and whispers promise resurrection—for a price.



To bring Liora back, Vespera must descend into the realm of shadows, navigating haunted cities, memory-forging demons, and bargains with ancient powers that traffic in regret. Stripped of his earthly dominance, he trades his victories, bleeds his emotions, and faces a soul who may no longer wish to return.
