"I am the monster they bred. And now, I'm coming for my throne."

Bastian Vale was never meant to be a hero. He was a weapon, a Subject, a Hound. But for five years, he lived a lie. He played the husband. He played the father. He pretended the darkness wasn't calling him back.

But some secrets can't be buried.

When a message from the shadows of the Vatican arrives, the peace we built in blood is shattered. Isohel is no longer the captive girl I stole; she is the Queen who will burn the world to protect our son. And our son... Alexei is not just a boy. He is the Apex. The chilling perfection of every sin we've ever committed.

To save my family, I must return to the place where I was made. The Citadel. A fortress of bones and ancient lies.

The war didn't end in New York. It's just beginning. And this time, there is no mercy. Only silence.

EMPIRE OF SILENCE is the heart-stopping conclusion to the Hounds of God duet. It is a high-heat, ultra-dark Mafia Romance that explores the depths of obsession and the price of a legacy. Check the author's note for triggers.
