THE EMERALD DEBT
A Volkov Empire Novel
By [Nanya]
================================================================================
BLURB
================================================================================
A Debt Paid in Blood. A Throne Forged in Fire.
Maya Sokolova was a pawn. Sold to the Bratva to pay for her father's sins, she
expected a quick death or a lifetime in a cage. What she found was
Dimitri Volkov—the Ice Pakhan—a man whose heart was as frozen as the
Siberian winter.
Dimitri didn't want a wife; he wanted a weapon. He didn't want love; he
wanted loyalty. But in the shadows of a looming mafia war, the contract they
signed in blood begins to blur. As Maya transforms from a victim into the
Emerald Queen, she realizes that the only thing more dangerous than the
enemies at her gates is the man who claims to own her.
In a world where mercy is a weakness and love is a death sentence, they must
decide if they will destroy each other—or rule the ruins together.

FINAL SCENE
================================================================================
Dimitri kissed the top of my head, his grip tightening just a fraction as Sofia
stirred in her sleep. She reached out in her dreams, her small, warm hand
wrapping around my index finger, clutching it with a strength that promised
she would never let go.
I looked at the skyline, at the man beside me, and at the life we had forged
in the fire.
The gun is three inches from my face when I realize I'm about to die.
That was the beginning.
But as I felt my daughter's heartbeat against my own, I knew the truth.
My daughter's hand is wrapped around my finger when I realize I've never
been more alive.
THE END
