What to expect
A BRAND NEW gripping gangland thriller from BESTSELLER Gillian Godden. The Lambrianus are back 💎 and this could be their final showdown...💥
Every crown is paid for in blood... 👑
It’s the final showdown for the Lambrianu family, but will bad boy Adam reclaim his birthright or will the family face their downfall once and for all?
Once dismissed as the family’s spoiled playboy, Adam Lambrianu is done being underestimated. He’s ready to prove he’s no pretender. He’s the heir. The boss. The Don.
But in the world of the Lambrianus, loyalty is fragile and betrayal is inevitable.
To reclaim the empire, Adam must show the underworld he’s as ruthless as the man who raised him. Every alliance will be tested. Every weakness will be punished. And when the streets run red, only one truth remains—power isn’t given. It’s taken.
Is this the end for the Lambrianu empire, or will they live to fight just one more day? Read on to find out! 👀
