Ashes of the Covenant

In the rain-slicked port city of Helvengard, young Don Valentin Crosetti inherits the Black Sands cartel and a desperate dream: to legitimize the family empire through a monumental clean energy deal with the city itself. But when his proposal to settle a climate fraud lawsuit with a corporate merger triggers a fatal backlash, he finds himself trapped between the old guard’s bloody traditions and a relentless federal prosecutor who weaponizes the very legal system Valentin sought to embrace. As ancient sins surface and a forty-year-old pact crumbles, Valentin discovers that the path to salvation is paved with the same violence he tried to bury, and that in the world of organized crime, the only true legacy is ashes.
