Sovereign : Dark Ties Series (The Dark Ties #5)

When the ground shifts beneath the empire, someone has to stand.



Spain was supposed to mean expansion and clean, new alliances. Instead, a calculated strike leaves Matteo alive but changed, his past cut away. Rivals scent weakness. Every agreement the Bianchis forged starts to wobble.



Giulia refuses to let the house fall. With Matteo’s memory in pieces, she steps forward, learns the rooms he once ruled, and holds the line while the world watches for a crack. New enemies press from the coast and the courts. Old debts wake. Every decision carries a cost—and every cost lands on her shoulders.



To keep the empire breathing, she must choose who to trust, what truths to bury, and how far she will go to protect the man who no longer remembers the fire they built together. Spain is a new horizon—but also a battlefield.



Will she expand to a new horizon and keep the ground from crumbling beneath what Matteo built—or will she die trying to hold the empire together?
