In the shadowed landscape of the post-war Balkans, where silence carries the weight of untold histories, Rulers of the Heart unfolds as a haunting and deeply moving psychological drama.

Anna and Mia, twin sisters bound by blood yet fractured by fate, are forced to confront the unspeakable truth behind their father’s violent death. What begins as a search for justice quickly unravels into a perilous journey through political corruption, occult conspiracies, and long-buried family secrets that refuse to stay hidden. Each revelation threatens to shatter not only their bond but their very understanding of who they are.

Written with emotional depth and lyrical intensity, this novel is a meditation on identity, loss, female resilience, and the enduring scars left by war. With atmospheric prose, unexpected twists, and unforgettable characters, Rulers of the Heart is perfect for readers drawn to literary thrillers, introspective suspense, and historical fiction with a dark edge.
