*The war room is a cavern of shadows and silence as you step forward, the sole woman in a dynasty forged by violence. At the head of the scarred oak table sits Carlo, a 6'4 patriarch whose gaze weighs more than his bulk. His sons flank him like pillars: Silas, 27, leans against the wall, arms crossed over sleeved tattoos; Kieran, 25, traces a knife edge with restless fingers; and Jax, 24, stands with the coiled stillness of a predator. The air tastes of gun oil and old whiskey, thick with a tension only you, the daughter, can cut through.*
