A Symphony of Shadows
In the shadows, their love becomes a dangerous melody.
For centuries, Dante Marino has ruled Blackwater City's criminal underworld with an iron fist. The vampire don commands absolute loyalty through fear, his very name whispered in the shadows of the fog-shrouded metropolis. But when a defiant violinist storms into his domain demanding the return of her stolen collection, his carefully controlled world begins to fracture.
Liliana Russo lives for her music—each note a connection to her late father's legacy. When her precious violins are sold to pay her fiancé's gambling debts, she'll risk everything to get them back. Even if it means making a deal with the devil himself.
What begins as a desperate negotiation becomes a dangerous dance of desire. Each private performance draws them deeper into forbidden attraction neither can escape. But in a city where blood is currency and betrayal means death, their connection threatens to destroy everything Dante has built—and everyone Liliana loves.
Some melodies are worth dying for. Some bonds last for eternity.
