Overview

Ashes of Desire: The first lesson of Sicily is that nothing ever truly dies. The sun burns, the rain washes, the generations rise and fall, but the earth beneath is eternal. And the earth remembers. Look to the east, where Mount Etna bleeds fire against the dawn. She is the islands heart: beautiful, fertile, and utterly ruthless. She is the witness to every oath broken and every sacrifice made. And she is the only true keeper of this tale. The villagers say the reckoning began centuries ago, but the storm that swept the villa on the headland remains the clearest memory. It was a time when the soil was measured in gold, and passion was measured in blood. It began with a conflict as old as the sea meeting the stone: the ambition of Marco Bellini, whose power sought to bind the island in cold law, versus the spirit of Lorenzo Vitale, whose love was as wild and unpredictable as the wind off the cliffs.

Author Information

Time To Breathe Acknowledgement: This book was inspired by three songs my husband wrote. I remember sitting with him one day, a quiet morning with coffee, when he turned to me and said, ""I think these songs might be more than just music."" He didn't know it then, but in that simple statement, he had already started the story. Steve did in fact start writing the story. His melodies and lyrics weren't just tunes; the were poetic lyrics. A book is never the work of one person alone. Therefore to my darling Steve, thank you for beginning this story and having the faith in me to see it through to the end of what I call our book! Finally, to you, the reader, thank you for picking up this book. I hope within these pages you find a story that resonates and perhaps, just for a moment, a quiet place to breathe.
