Synopsis

Italy, Bolognese territories, 1228.The incessant looting and frozen land drove the population to exhaustion in the wars between Guelphs and Ghibellines, which fell like a scourge on the region. Long expanses of perennial snow, populated by wolves, stretched into tangled solitude — a realm of the dead. This was the point at which the lords would turn their horses, summon their greyhounds, and return home. Right in the heart of this solitude, heedless of the unseen forces at work, noble Jacopo da San Lorenzo would encounter the ferocious Cuzzano for the first time, saving the life of a peasant who was about to be killed. Cuzzano’s thirst for revenge for the affront suffered would trigger a spiral of death from which there would be no return. Jacopo San Lorenzo will find himself caught up in a plot to assassinate Emperor Frederick II. An arrow, intended for the emperor and shot from a Cuzzano’s hand, will be stopped by Jacopo’s body, saving his life. This legendary golden arrow will become a symbol of the Cuzzano family’s wickedness, the San Lorenzo family’s nobility, and the indissoluble bond that will be established with the Swabians from that moment on. From generation to generation, the arrow will continue to save and sacrifice, causing an enduring curse that never seems to break.

    Since he was a small boy, his father has expected him to become a powerful mage and redeem his family’s honor. Even if his heart was elsewhere, Yanko always accepted his responsibility. He’s learned all he can about magic, practiced to become powerful, and fought great evil to free thousands of imprisoned people. 
    But it’s not enough. 
    Prince Zirabo tasks him with claiming a new land for their nation and keeping it out of the hands of all those who covet it. Even though Yanko has a few good friends to help him, he’s daunted by the enormity of the task. But securing the continent and turning it into a lush farmland may be the only way to end the civil war at home and bring peace to people who are hungry, beleaguered, and divided. 
    Yanko will have to use all of his power and draw upon everything he’s learned to succeed and bring peace to his war-torn nation. If he can’t, he’ll lose his home, his family, and all that he loves.

    Rafael owns my heart. He stole it with the first clumsy bump in a Parisian bookstore, and I never asked him to return it. 
     
     
     
    He gifted me a night to remember, a night that shaped the person I would become. And then, I lost him. I lost every trace that could have helped me find him. Until fate meddled again and put Rafael and me on the same cross-European train through the Alps. 
     
     
     
    But if I hoped that some divine hand guided us to one another, I was terribly mistaken. 
     
     
     
    Our second encounter sparked a decade of failed attempts and missed chances. For years, I yearned to be with him, and for years, something took him away. Our lives are so intertwined that we will never be free of one another. And yet, each time I see him, my dream of a happy ending fades a little more. 
     
     
     
    Is stealing moments with Rafael enough to live on? Can I survive on glimmers of hope? I don't think so. 
     
     
     
    It's time to take our happy ending away from fate's hands. It's time to break this cursed cycle once and for all. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
