I'm the Shadow King, and I run this city. Or at least, I thought I did. My empire’s built on power, but Sophia Falcone, my biggest rival's daughter, is a whole other kind of threat. She's a poison I can't resist, a drug I crave—to control her, to get what I want.

I’m in the academy, trying to go straight and follow the law. But there is always someone watching me. Every street I walk feels like a De Luca chessboard. Even if I didn’t sign up for it, I'm stuck in their game, and I don’t even know the rules yet.
This is a prequel to the De Luca Empire Series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone novella.
If you like steam, forbidden love, mafia romance, and... did I mention spice? Then this is a story for you.
