Shadow Empress Crown

Three days after I died, my fiancé got a call to ID the body. He just scoffed. "She's dead, so what? Call me when she's in the ground." The cops, out of options, hit up my backup contact—my childhood friend. He actually laughed. "She's really gone? Not my problem. Burn her or whatever." Then my body hit the internet— And suddenly, both of them looked like ghosts.

Azalea Steffani Leandra adalah seniman muda berbakat yang menjalani hidup sederhana dan teratur hingga suatu malam kejadian yang tak terduga pun terjadi, tanpa sengaja dan tanoa diminta ia menjadi saksi pembunuhan di galeri tempatnya bekerja. Pelaku pembunuhan itu adalah Lucas Zander Maxime, bos mafia dingin dan berkuasa dari keluarga paling ditakuti, The Obsidian Crown. Dalam dunia Lucas, satu aturan tak pernah dilanggar: saksi harus dihilangkan. Namun, aturan itu runtuh ketika Lucas teringat permintaan terakhir ayahnya yang sekarat—melindungi seorang wanita bernama Azalea, tanpa alasan dan tanpa penjelasan, hanya peringatan bahwa jika Azalea mati, semuanya akan hancur. Maka alih-alih membunuhnya, Lucas memilih menyandera Azalea, mengawasinya dari dekat, dan diam-diam melindunginya. Keputusan ini sekaligus ia manfaatkan untuk menolak perjodohan yang telah diatur keluarganya dengan Seraphina Caldwell, pewaris keluarga mafia ternama The Crimson Veil. Kepada dunia mafia, Lucas menyatakan ia memilih wanita biasa daripada wanita berdarah mafia. Namun kebenaran tidaklah seperti itu, perlahan semuanya terungkap dan jauh lebih berbahaya daripada yang dibayangkan. Jejak masa lalu, dokumen tersembunyi, dan nama yang dihapus dari sejarah keluarga Caldwell mengarah pada satu kenyataan mengejutkan: Azalea adalah pewaris sejati keluarga Seraphina Caldwell—putri yang selama ini dinyatakan hilang dan sengaja disembunyikan demi melindunginya dari dunia mafia. Lucas baru menyadari kebenaran itu setelah ayahnya meninggal, memahami bahwa perintah melindungi Azalea adalah amanat terakhir yang krusial. Seiring waktu, tugas perlindungan berubah menjadi ikatan terlarang yang dipenuhi hasrat, ketakutan, dan pengkhianatan. Azalea jatuh hati pada pria yang seharusnya ia takuti—penyelamat sekaligus ancaman. Sementara itu, The Crimson Veil tak akan menerima penolakan perjodohan dan siap menumpahkan darah untuk merebut kembali pewaris mereka. Di tengah kekerasan dan rahasia kelam, Azalea harus memilih: melarikan diri dari takdir, atau menerima kebenaran tentang dirinya dan pria berbahaya yang berdiri di sisinya.
