While the Crown Bleeds

A crown can be claimed. A throne can be stolen. But a queen must survive the blood spilled to keep it.Lia Sabatino has fought too hard for her freedom to surrender it now.
Standing beside Ilyin, the ruthless Pakhan of the Bratva, she has helped unite two powerful criminal empires. But peace is fragile, loyalty comes at a price, and not everyone is willing to bow before their new queen.
Then Lia begins losing pieces of her memory.
Haunted by old wounds and carrying a secret that could change everything, she discovers that someone is watching her every move. Private medical records have fallen into dangerous hands, enemies are closing in, and betrayal may be hiding among the people she trusts most.
Ilyin would burn an empire to protect his wife. But protecting Lia is not the same as controlling her, and loving a dangerous man does not mean surrendering the right to choose.
As rival forces threaten everything they have built, Lia and Ilyin must confront their deepest fears, uncover the truth behind a deadly conspiracy, and decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other.
Because in their world, love does not guarantee survival. And even a queen can fall.
