THE VOW. THE CITY. THE CHOICE.

Empires are built on blood, not luck. Elena Kovac was born to inherit a throne she never asked for-and refuses to wear like jewelry. Hector Rojas was forged to be a blade, not a believer. Their first collision is smoke, gunfire, and a bargain sealed in the rain. Their second is a war they plan together.

In a city ruled by ledgers and lies, a traitor turns grief into leverage and saints into currency. Elena steps into power with rules that bite-no freelance hits, no drones over homes, taxes cut for the street, consequences for capos who skim. Hector stands beside her, the only man who can keep his hands steady while she remakes the map.

They vow to end the old order. The old order vows to end them. Someone will pay in full.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
