Mia Russo thought the worst night of her life was watching her father die. She was wrong. The worst night is standing on an auction stage in a red dress, being sold like property to the highest bidder. Her father was the most feared Don in the criminal world. Now he is dead, and she is the price someone is collecting. Just as a greasy old man opens his mouth to claim her, a single bid silences the room. A number so large the auctioneer's hands shake. Mia never sees the man's face. Only his eyes. Dark. Calm. Familiar in a way that makes her stomach drop. The man who buys her is Dante Reyes. The new Godfather. The most powerful criminal in the country. And the same boy her father pulled from the streets twelve years ago and raised like a son. He is no longer that boy. He is cold. Controlled. And he wants something from Mia that goes far beyond ownership. As the walls of his mansion close around her, Mia begins to see the truth. Dante did not buy her to save her. He bought her because she is the last piece of a plan years in the making. A plan that started the night her father was murdered. A plan Dante may have helped write. The girl who walked into his house as a prisoner must decide. Break under his control, or burn the whole empire down from the inside.

Every human being is born bound to a spirit. It is a system set up by the gods to prevent genocide. Most humans are bound to a low level spirit, like a fairy or a ghost or a sprite. Some humans are bound to stronger spirits, like angels, or reapers, or elementals, or demons, however getting bound to a demon is rare. When a human turns 12, they perform a test that reveals a human’s spirit. Most get low-level spirits, some get elementals, however, that is not the case for our protagonist. Emery Stone was the only spirit-less being in a world where your existence is determined solely on how strong your spirit is.
