Camila Carrington never wanted the crown — but when her brother is killed, she inherits more than grief; she inherits his enemies. Thrust into Atlanta’s violent criminal underworld, Camila must outwit rival gangs, corrupt officials, and even members of her own bloodline who want her dead. With every move, she balances vengeance with survival, building an empire on secrets, betrayal, and power. But as the city ignites in chaos, Camila faces the ultimate question: how much of her soul is she willing to sacrifice to rule?
