She sold her soul to save a lover. Now she’ll risk Hell itself for redemption, and a love that could rewrite eternity.
Centuries ago, Lavinia Fedele made the ultimate sacrifice, her soul. Traded to Lucifer to save the man she loved. Betrayed and damned, she rose from the ashes as the immortal queen of Vatican City’s criminal underworld, wielding infernal power and ruling the shadows with an iron fist. But when a sacred relic is threatened, Lavinia’s carefully constructed empire begins to unravel, and the gates of Hell threaten to burst open.
Ettore Vescari, a relentless Vatican detective haunted by his brother’s soul trapped in the relic, is drawn into Lavinia’s deadly orbit. Their uneasy alliance ignites a forbidden passion, but every step closer to the truth pulls them deeper into a web of ancient conspiracies, supernatural warfare, and betrayals that blur the line between enemy and lover.
As Rome erupts in violence, Lavinia is forced to confront her own damnation and the terrifying possibility of redemption. Lucifer himself demands her loyalty, while a demon warlord seeks to unleash chaos on Earth. With time running out and the fate of Heaven, Hell, and the mortal world hanging in the balance, Lavinia and Ettore must outwit monsters, survive infernal bargains, and risk everything for a love that could shatter the chains of Hell itself.
