Hades’ Little Warrior Takes on the Mafia

Lucian leaves the realm of the dead with his daughter Mila, whose connection to the River Styx gives her extraordinary strength. In Vesper, he tries to pass as an ordinary single father, but danger follows when he rescues Valerie, heir to the Ashford family, from pursuit. Valerie offers a contract marriage to avoid an arranged match, bringing the guarded father and heiress into an uneasy alliance. Their new household becomes a target when Adrian Hawthorne's family abducts Valerie and sends Underworld envoys after them. Mila repeatedly protects her mother, while Lucian conceals the truth by erasing memories linked to the attacks. Meanwhile, she hacks an enemy bug and reveals Gavin's attempt to manufacture drug evidence against Valerie. As the family council confronts the scheme and Adrian moves on the docks with armed men, the family faces threats from both the mob and Charon's envoy Ronan.
