The unwanted bride becomes the city queen

Sold by her father to settle a crushing debt, Elara Vance enters a cold marriage with ruthless tycoon Julian Thorne expecting a life of obedience. Instead, she secretly builds an empire in the shadows, exposing corruption, toppling powerful enemies, and turning herself from an unwanted bride into the most feared woman in New Titan. As betrayals ignite a war for control of the city and Julian risks everything to stand beside her, Elara finally seizes absolute power and claims the throne that once belonged to her enemies. But just when the city bows to its new Queen and a shocking truth changes everything between her and Julian, a new dawn rises over New Titan... and hidden beyond the horizon waits a threat powerful enough to destroy everything she fought to build.
