The Eternal Reign (Blood Vows, Love of Tears #3)
Alba de Segur
He broke her to make her a queen. She will burn the world to ashes to get her king back.
Two years. Seven hundred and thirty days. Seventeen thousand five hundred and twenty hours. That is how long it took Elena Valenti to turn her grief into a weapon of mass destruction. Convinced that Dante Salvatore perished in the cataclysmic explosion that saved her, she is no longer the innocent young woman sold to clear her father's debts. Now the fearsome Queen of Ashes, she rules with an iron fist from Paris, relentlessly hunting down the secret society known as "The Order" to quench her thirst for revenge. Her heart has calcified, and her soul has fully embraced the darkness.
Until the day a target feeds her a piece of information that shatters her world: the Devil of Chicago is still breathing.
Locked up, tortured, and mutilated in a government black site, Dante is but a shadow of the untouchable Boss of Bosses. But you don't chain a monster with impunity. Ready to start World War III for him, Elena launches a suicidal assault to drag her husband out of hell. The former hostage has become the savior.
Yet, their return to reality is brutally harsh. Back in Chicago, they discover a city infested with traitors who have carved up the remains of their empire. The Triads, the Bratva, and Dante's former lieutenants now rule over their ruins. And in the shadows, The Order hasn't said its last word. The powerful organization holds an unexpected hostage, a secret so devastating it could permanently destroy the Salvatore legacy.
Physically diminished but more lethal and possessive than ever, Dante must accept that his wife is no longer a porcelain doll to be protected, but his equal—a ruthless killer with a deadly instinct. Together, they form the most dangerous couple the Cosa Nostra has ever seen.
To reclaim their throne, crush their rivals, and eradicate The Order down to the last man, they will have to plunge into the ultimate darkness. Hate forged their union; pain made it indestructible. Now, it is time for the King and Queen to drown the city in blood.
The Carnal Debt has been paid. The Eternal Reign can finally begin.
