Publisher's Synopsis
Matteo Esposito was never meant to be a hero.
Taken in by a Neapolitan mob boss after surviving on the streets, he became a hitman more out of necessity than choice.
One night, in the ruined alleys of Naples, he finds Ciro - an abandoned child - and decides to protect him. A small gesture, almost insignificant, yet deeply decisive. It marks the beginning of something breaking inside him.
When Aislinn, a young woman from Brittany carrying her own cracks and silences, crosses Matteo's path, it's a collision.
Two loners crashing into each other at the heart of a city on the verge of implosion.
As clan wars bathe Naples in blood and Mount Vesuvius threatens to bury everything beneath its fury, Matteo faces an impossible choice: betray the world he's always served, or lose the only thing that ever mattered.
