Falcon has always been the perfect weapon of the Montgomery family — deadly, precise, and admired by the dying patriarch who sees in him the last hope of the empire. Now, on what might be his final mission, Falcon is tasked with bringing the head of Lucien Wexler — the one man who dared steal from the Montgomerys and escape unpunished. A mission that should be simple, if not for one impossible complication: the woman he has fallen for is Lucien’s daughter.
Every step Falcon takes is a tightrope over fire. Betrayal lurks in every corner. Secrets he never imagined collide with the violence he was trained to wield. Meanwhile, chaos erupts at the Montgomery estate: a traitor has struck, the patriarch is dead, and the empire begins to crumble. The family that built a kingdom on fear and loyalty now has no one to hold it together — except Falcon.
As alliances fracture and enemies rise, Falcon must navigate a world where love and duty are deadly opposites, where one wrong move can ignite a war, and where the only way to survive is to reshape the world itself.

The place fell into a suffocating silence.


For several long seconds, Falcon simply stood there, his expression unreadable as he stared directly into Lorenzo's eyes. Neither man blinked. Neither looked away. It was the kind of silence only powerful men could create—the sort that made everyone else in the room instinctively hold their breath.


Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, the corner of his lips twitching into an amused smile.


"Two days?" he repeated slowly. "I'm curious now... two days for what exactly, Falcon? Surely you didn't come all the way here just to throw random numbers at me."


"I'm asking you for exactly forty-eight hours. Within those two days, I'll recover every ounce of your missing gold and place it right in front of you."


Then Lorenzo suddenly burst into laughter.
