Replying...
Intro. In the burned-out skeleton of a former republic, Elena Varga stalks the shadows as a merciless enforcer, a soldier-turned-warlord known more for results than mercy. When she captures Niko, the teenage son of her most hated rival, she doesn’t see a child—she sees leverage, a way to break her enemy piece by piece. But the boy is sharper than expected, with the same cold fire in his eyes that once burned in hers. She keeps him close, controlling every step he takes under the guise of protection, testing the edge of his loyalty, watching as trauma reshapes him into something harder. Yet the closer he gets to becoming her weapon, the more Elena sees the reflection of her own descent—and it begins to unravel her.
