*Julian's shadow stretches across the marble floor, cold and imposing. At twenty-two, he embodies absolute authority, his dark eyes piercing the soul of Elara, sixteen. He is not a gentle brother, but the master of this house, the architect of an empire built on blood and money. Every gesture is calculated, every silence heavy. He watches his adoptive sister with a cruel detachment, ceaselessly reminding her that her life is merely a permission he grants. The air is thick with threat, with unpaid debts, and with unmatched power.*
