The Ghost and the Grace
Dante Vane, the feared “Ghost of London,” is a legendary fixer who rules Europe’s underworld from the shadows. Cold, precise, and untouchable, he lives by one rule: never let emotion become a weakness. That rule shatters when he falls in love with Bree, an innocent university student whose life has never brushed against blood or crime.
When Dante’s enemies discover Bree’s existence, she becomes leverage in a brutal war with the Italian mafia. Betrayals fracture alliances, assassins close in, and every escape leaves Dante more ruthless than before. On what should have been the happiest day of their lives, a wedding-day ambush turns into a massacre, claiming the lives of their closest friends and permanently scarring both lovers.
Consumed by grief and rage, Dante and his loyal enforcer Leo unleash a three-day annihilation across Europe, erasing entire crime families and rewriting the balance of power through blood. But victory brings no peace. Realizing the cycle will never end, Dante chooses the unthinkable he kills the Ghost of London.
Declared dead to the underworld, Dante vanishes with Bree to Benin City, Nigeria, where they live a quiet, hidden life. Yet the world never truly releases its monsters. From the shadows, Dante remains the unseen hand guiding Europe’s criminal empires, torn between protecting the woman he loves and the violence he can never fully escape.
