Mafia shadows

Esras has taken a vow of silence. For eleven years he has had a single goal: to destroy the man who took both his family and his voice. When he finally kidnaps that man's daughter, vengeance should be simple. He only has to take back what was stolen from him and ruin everything else.

But Hannah is no longer the person he left behind. She is brave, untamable, and far too bright for the dark world he lives in. Held captive in his manor, she faces a taciturn man who unsettles her as much as he frightens her. His gaze follows and studies her, and it stirs a sense of familiarity she cannot explain.

In this enforced silence, art becomes their only way of communicating. It turns into a battlefield and, worse, a place where they confess things they never meant to reveal. Meanwhile the Italians are closing in, determined to recover what Esras refuses to hand over. When the truth finally comes out, it is already too late to run.

In this story, some debts can only be settled with blood, and some wounds never heal.
