He is not a man. He is a storm in human form.

Sebastian Marco rules France not through politics or diplomacy—but through fear. A shadow monarch whose throne is built from bones and silence, and whose crown is unseen but undeniable. The name “Marco” is whispered in the alleys of Paris like a curse, and spoken with reverence among assassins, smugglers, and corrupted officials.

He doesn't negotiate. He commands.

And anyone—man or woman, friend or kin—who dares touch her...

dies screaming.
