If you have not read the first two books in the series, Savior and Prisoner, do not read the synopsis to avoid spoilers. For as long as anyone could remember, the Drakos family and Petrakis family have been at war. In recent years, after too much bloodshed and the death of Andreas Petrakis’s wife, both families decide to end the war with an arranged marriage. But after two failed arranged marriages, resulting in the death of Tatiana Petraki, all thoughts of peace have been stored away as the war between both families starts again. And this time, blood will be shed. Before Tatiana Petraki died, she warned Evelyn that one day Pierce would do the same to her as he did to Tatiana—find someone new and leave her behind. Ever since, this has been a constant thought plaguing Evelyn’s brain—when will he leave me? But Evelyn doesn’t just have to worry about the uncertainty of her relationship with Pierce, but also, where her career will go next. Wanting her first solo fashion show to be great, Evelyn finds a new investor, Mercer Sauvageau, a big-time French fashion influencer who sees Evelyn’s potential to reach greater heights and much more. All the while, Pierce has a battle to face as the war reignites between his family and the Petrakis family, who are out for blood after Tatiana’s death. To defeat them, Pierce must play nice with his new allies, the Turks, more specifically, Şeyda Yavuz, a woman who has taken interest in Pierce. Pierce and Evelyn’s relationship is tested by their ambitions and what they are unwilling to lose—themselves. Evelyn doesn’t want to lose in this game of love by giving any more of her heart to Pierce, a man who is incapable of loving her. Pierce refuses to give anyone power over him, not even the only woman he has ever cared about. Will they be able to conquer each other’s hearts, or will Evelyn and Pierce lose themselves and each other in this game? This cannot be read as a stand-alone, and Prisoner must be read first. If you truly want a satisfying read, you want to read the series in order, starting with Savior.
