⤝ SYNOPSIS ⤞

The Silence. The most mysterious syndicate shrouded in mystery and feared by all. With their strict code of silence and unyielding loyalty, the members are bound by unbreakable oaths. Life within this brutal society is a blend of opulence and danger, and for one man life just got a little more difficult.

Dante Villin, the heartless heir to the Villin legacy. Entrusted with completing the tasks to prove his unwavering dedication to the brotherhood. As a sacrificial atonement, Valentina Castello is forced to surrender her freedom and become an unwilling pawn in a destructive game. There are no rules or boundaries to protect her from Dante's impulses.

As the two become entangled in a complex dance of power, control, and reluctant attraction, Valentina must find a way to survive. In this dangerous new reality, the stakes are high, and both Valentina and Dante must confront their deepest fears and desires. No one is safe.

⤝ AUTHORS NOTE ⤞

Welcome to The Leaden Series Book 1. When I first wrote this book, I did not think at all, and it was truly terrible and I have changed a lot since that time. I have evolved due to my stupid mistakes from the past, which I regret deeply, I have decided to start again. Previously writing the book, I was inspired by other dark romances that I felt like it wasn't my own and I was too deep into changing it. But I need this. I always wanted a strong female lead who was going to bring the men to her knees. I wanted to put my spin on it. This is a rewrite and the cleaned and improved version. I have finally reached a conclusion and plot for this book, that I think will be quite satisfying to read. The main plot does not change much or characters however, apparent tweaks are made and I prefer them now, so please respect that.

Furthermore, I do want to say this book is no way romanticising any themes or relationship and the men in this series should not be regarded as the ideal type. They are not and it is crucial that you understand that. The development of the female MC is something you need to be patient about and you may not like her at the start and that is done on purpose. I want to thank everyone who is reading this book, I really appreciate the support. It means a lot to me.

Also, I just want to say that I don't tolerate any kind of bullying or hatred towards the storyline or any parts of my book or the author. Rude comments will be deleted and reported. I have warned you! AND don't expect updates straight away bc that won't be happening.
