I buried my brother in the morning. I claimed his wife by sunset.
Pankratiy Fedoro: They call me the Wolf of Seattle. The spare heir. The shadow. For three years, I watched my brother break the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I watched Zoya Ilina fade from a prima ballerina into a ghost in our family's glass fortress.
I did nothing. I respected the Code. I respected the ring on her finger.
Until I cut the brake line on his Maserati.
Now, Sashura is dead. The throne is mine. The empire is mine. And by the laws of the Bratva, his widow is under my protection.
I moved her into my wing. I locked the gates. I told the world it was for her safety, to keep the vultures away. But that's a lie. I didn't lock the world out to save her.
I locked her in to keep her for myself.
Zoya Ilina: I thought becoming a widow would mean freedom. I was wrong. It just meant trading a loud monster for a silent one.
Pankratiy Fedoro is terrifying. He is a wall of muscle and scars, a man who speaks in commands and looks at me with a hunger that makes my knees weak. He knows my secrets. He knows I didn't love his brother. He knows I'm glad he's dead.
He says he's my protector. He sleeps outside my door. He washes the blood off my hands. He buys me red dresses and dares me to wear them to the funeral.
But the ghost of my husband isn't resting. Secrets are bleeding out of the walls of the fortress. And when the truth comes out-when I find out exactly how my husband died-I have to decide who the real villain is.
The man who broke me? Or the man who killed to fix me?
