Three years ago, the third most powerful mafia family in the country was slaughtered in a single night. Every member was executed without mercy… except one. Tiana. The bastard daughter no one cared enough to kill. Spared not out of kindness, but cruelty, she is dragged away as a captive and forced to endure three years of brutality at the hands of her family’s murderers, until the vibrant girl she once was disappears completely, leaving behind a mute, obedient girl. When her captors finally grow tired of her, she is disguised as a frail boy to increase her value and is thrown into an underground auction to be sold as damaged property. Marcus Valcari, a powerful mafia boss, had no interest in buying human property that night.
