My dear (future) reader,

I've officially lost my mind by getting into writing this story.

Hear me out: I'm a fantasy girl. The closest I've ever gotten to reality was dystopian fiction. It had never been about mafia. Willingly.

So, how did I end up with the idea for A Split Crown?

Well... My friend and I read a Rina Kent book last year. And we both had a lot of strong words about the experience. However, the "dark mafia world" refused to leave me alone. The idea kept haunting me occasionally while I was writing Black Seeds, until I finally decided to give it a try.

So, if you like A Split Crown, thank Rina Kent for it.

If you don't... well, "thank her" anyway.

To be honest, it was quite fun to write. I did some research, talked to friends who are much more competent on the matter than I am, and I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

How can I fit this story into my "fantasy" preferences? Easy. I treat it as contemporary fantasy. There's no way real mafia does any of the things I've described.

I hope so.

And no, despite the mafia, this isn't a dark romance.

So, what is the story about?

An arranged marriage. Simple. The question is whether or not it'll transform into a real one.

The MCs aren't teenagers. They already have their own lives, routines, and expectations, so becoming a family is going to be a problem. 100%.

Who are the main characters?

Sofia and Paul. Mafia heirs who don't shy away from their roles and are already preparing to take over their empires.

I did my best to make them stand out from the typical mafia prince or princess. I hope I've succeeded.

Let me know, please.

And, most importantly,

enjoy the ride.

With love,
FriendlyGhooost

P.S. In the description, you may see a teaser from one of the chapters. For those who want to know what song Sofia was singing, it's the chorus from "Dissociate" by Jutes.

The scene came to me like a flash, and this song practically forced me to make it more extravagant.

I adore it!
