Entice

Cursed, numb, rejected, scorned, wicked, sinister, dark, twisted...my name is Tex Campisi and this is my legacy: I killed my father in cold blood and lost my soul right along with him.

I crave war more than peace, and I'm about to take my place in history as the youngest Capo dei Capi in the Cosa Nostra...that is until someone stops me, saves me from myself.

But the only person able to do that...is my best friends sister, Mo Abandonato, and she just ripped my heart out and asked me to hold it in my hands while she put bullets through it.

I'm cursed so I did it.
I'm numb so I held it.
I'm wicked so I liked it.

I used the pain Mo caused as a catalyst to turn into my biggest nightmare--the five families greatest enemy. It's my turn to take a stand, knowing full well I'm going to lose my mind to the madness that is the American Mafia. I've always been told 
Blood is thicker than life. I wish I would have listened. Because regardless of who you love? You will betray. You will kill.

Blood Always Wins.

The only way out is death...yours.

Welcome to the Dark Side of the Family.

Elicit

I am a Killer. A Monster. I know only pain and survival. That is until the Cappo's sister walked into my life. And changed everything.

She's a light who makes my darkness darker, her smile makes my heart turn to ice, and I can't escape the fear her seductive looks instill--knowing it's only a matter of time before I fail--again, and take her for myself.

This is the story of my redemption.

But it's not pretty...I died, and now I'm alive, but not living, breathing but not surviving. I am Phoenix De Lange, son to a murdered mob boss, estranged brother, horrible friend, monster in the making, newest leader to one of the most powerful families in the Cosa Nostra.

And I will have my vengeance. Or die trying.

I am Phoenix De Lange.

Death is all I know. Until she offers me a piece of life--I can't resist taking...

Ember

Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married--I offered to shoot her.

Ten hours before our wedding--I made a mockery of her dying wish.

Five hours before we were going to say our vows--I promised I'd never love her.

One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death.

But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew.

I'd only use my gun to protect her. I'd give my life for hers. I'd cry. And I would, most definitely, lose myself, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place.

I always believed the mafia would be my end game--poisoning my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption.

Or the beginning of something beautiful.

The beginning of her.

The end of us.

Elude

I have lost everything. My purpose. My love. My soul.

Death knocks on my door, I want to answer, but every time I reach for the handle--the promise I made her, brings me back.

So I breathe. I live. I hate. And I allow the anger to boil beneath the surface of a perfectly indifferent facade.

I am broken, I dont want to be fixed.

One last trip to New York, one last chance to redeem a lost part of the mafia family. The Empire is crumbling and it's my job to fix it, my job to mend the pieces that were scattered over thirty years ago. The only issue is, the only way to fix, is to do something I swore I'd never do again.

An arranged marriage. Only this time. I won't fall. Or so help me God, I'll kill her myself. 

My name is Sergio Abandanoto, you think you know my pain, my suffering, my anger, my hate--you have no idea.

I am the mafia.
I am the darkness.
Blood in. No out.

Empire

Part of a world I loathe. Part of a family who hates me more than I hate myself. Living with a girl who reminds me of my darkness.

I'm. In. Hell.

Also known as the Cosa Nostra.

My life was over the minute I stepped off that plane. Son to a murdered mob boss.
Heir to a throne of murder and lies. 

My name is Dante Nicolasi. 
And there will be blood.

Enrage

All is lost. All.

I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore.

My thoughts are filled with hatred and dripping with rage. I've lost my soul. She took it to the depths of Hell with her and haunts me with images of what could have been.

Sixty lives are mine to take.
Sixty lives stand in the way of my vengeance.
Sixty lives plus one more.

Mine.

When the last drop of blood falls — mine will be spilled.

Only one person stands in the way. She doesn't realize I'll kill her too. I don't own a heart. And even if I did — I wouldn't fall prey to its lies again.

I am Chase Abandonato.
Heir to a legacy of betrayal.
And I will kill them all.

Even if it means pointing the gun at myself.

A life for a life. A soul for a soul. Now I lay me down to sleep… I pray the Lord my soul to keep. 

Blood in. No out.
