The Protector - (Fifth Republic) by Penelope Sky (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Love made him powerful. Now it may destroy him.

Luca Fournier has ruled with control, precision, and absolute authority. But nothing has ever tested him like this.

With enemies circling closer than ever before and war threatening to erupt within his own empire, the world he built is on the verge of collapse. And at the center of it all--Aliénor.

The woman he would die for. The woman he might lose anyway.

As danger escalates and the cost of power becomes impossible to ignore, Luca is forced to face the ultimate question:

How far will he go to protect what's his?

Because in a world governed by violence and loyalty, mercy is weakness--and hesitation is fatal.

And when everything is on the line. . . even the Emperor must fall.
