Ashes Know My Name
After surviving a devastating house fire that kills her entire family, twenty two year old Mira is left with nothing but grief, silence, and unanswered questions especially about her missing elder brother, Elijah, who vanished the night of the tragedy. For five years, Mira endures loss, poverty, and emotional isolation, believing she is truly alone in the world.
Her life changes when she crosses paths with Elijah again, no longer the protective brother she remembers, but the feared right-hand man of a ruthless mafia lord, Lucien Moretti. Drawn into Lucien’s dark world, Mira discovers that survival requires more than innocence. As Lucien becomes dangerously obsessed with her, willing to burn empires and defy fate to keep her, Mira is forced to confront the fire she thought had destroyed her.
When betrayal fractures the underworld and her brother is taken, Mira makes a choice that reshapes everything: she steps into power. What begins as survival becomes transformation as Mira rises from victim to ruler, commanding fear, loyalty, and fire in equal measure. Torn between love, blood, and legacy, she learns that true power is not destruction but control.
