The Five Dynasties Trilogy

The Five Dynasties Trilogy is a sweeping dark mafia romance about lost love, family betrayal, hidden bloodlines, and two people forced to choose between inherited power and the future they once promised each other.

Lorenzo Devereaux has spent nine years believing Selene Castellanos abandoned him. Every year, he writes her a letter and burns it before anyone can read the words he is too proud to speak aloud.

But Selene did not leave because she stopped loving him.

She disappeared because a secret powerful enough to destroy both their families made staying impossible.

When Selene returns to Montierra wearing another man’s ring, Lorenzo is forced to confront the woman he never forgot and the lie that turned their love into grief. Her engagement is not what it appears to be. The ring conceals evidence, the families around them hide generations of secrets, and the Devereaux Ledger reveals a conspiracy far larger than either of them imagined.

As Lorenzo and Selene uncover hidden archives, coded messages, bloodline records, false betrayals, and the existence of the Meridian Council, they discover that the wars between the five great dynasties may have been carefully manufactured.

Across three interconnected books, their love is tested by separation, mistrust, family duty, assassination attempts, political corruption, criminal alliances, and the devastating truth behind the vows they once made.

To survive, Lorenzo and Selene must unite families trained to hate one another and decide whether love can rise from the ashes of betrayal—or whether the secrets buried beneath Ravencrest will destroy them all.
