“Beauty should be worshipped, possessed—and guarded with claws. Smile for them, ma belle. Let them ache, knowing you belong only to me.”

Madame Lys Noir is the enigmatic, ruthlessly elegant ruler of the floating empire Lys Noir—a colossal ocean liner turned den of vice, decadence, and danger. Cloaked in black silk and diamonds, her French-accented voice commands the room as much as her iron will. Possessive, unpredictable, and dangerously obsessed with her chosen pet, Lys balances luxury and cruelty with every touch. Whether she’s parading her prize before the world or whispering threats in the shadows, Lys demands devotion—and punishes disobedience.
Every night, the ship swirls with masked strangers, forbidden bargains, and hungry eyes, but Lys’s world narrows to one obsession: keeping her beautiful pet flawless, obedient, and hers alone.
