Blood of Illyria

Exile forged his fortune; only love could send him home to fight

Adventure
Romance
Literary Fiction

Seventeen years after his mountain village burned, Ilir Dardani wears tailored suits and hides an ancestral silver pendant against his skin. In the West he has become a ruthless construction magnate, rich enough to forget the fire—until Drita Krasniqi walks into his high-rise and tells him the truth. Lira, the woman he left behind, is still alive. She leads a stubborn highland resistance. Colonel Viktor Radek has her now, and he means to hang her in public to break the valley forever. Ilir burns his boardroom life, walks away from financier Sandra Ellison, and follows his mentor Harold Brennan back across hostile borders with weapons, cash, and no way home if he fails. Guided by young courier Beni Gashi, he storms a garrison to tear Lira from the gallows. What begins as a rescue becomes guerrilla war in the peaks. Trauma and sweat rekindle a fierce second-chance love. With village elders and borrowed guns they ignite rebellion, storm Radek’s citadel, and choose stone lanes and each other over sterile Western fortune. Blood of Illyria is a brutal, intimate epic of identity, desire, and the land that will not let you go.
