For five years, Serena built Adrian's empire, only to be branded a traitor when he protected his childhood sweetheart. Exiled, hunted, and presumed powerless, she vanishes for three years. Then she appears at a Blackwood underground auction, puts a gun to her rival's head, and claims the castle as her territory. Everyone expects her execution. Instead, the feared Vincent Blackwood steps forward and names Serena as his wife. She did not return for Adrian. She returned with evidence, an army, and a trap for everyone who destroyed her.
