Empire Of Ashes
"Dead men don’t stay dead... unless they’re forgotten."
Dominic "Dom" Ricci was a kingpin who ruled with an iron fist, his empire stretching across neon-lit streets and shadowed alleys. But betrayal cuts deeper than any bullet, and when his most trusted lieutenant, Vincent "Vinnie" Costa, turns on him, Dom’s kingdom collapses in a storm of blood and fire.
Presumed dead. Erased. Finished.
But kings don’t die easy.
Emerging from the ashes, Dom is no longer the man he once was. Stripped of everything—his empire, his allies, even his humanity—he becomes something darker. A predator. With nothing left to lose, he begins his ruthless climb back to power, one dangerous move at a time. Old alliances fracture, new enemies rise, and every step forward could be his last.
Vinnie, now sitting on Dom’s stolen throne, isn’t just holding the empire—he’s tightening the noose. The deeper Dom digs, the more he uncovers: secrets buried in the past, fragile loyalties, and the chilling truth that to reclaim his crown, he must become the monster he swore he’d never be.
In this brutal game of betrayal and survival, trust is a liability, and power comes at a price. The streets run red, the shadows whisper, and in the Empire of Ashes, only the ruthless rise.
