Ash and Silk: A Sicilian Dark Romance

By Bianca Caruso

Sicily, 1563.

She is the Baronessa di Carini. Her father's asset. Her husband's prisoner. She has been many things inside these walls - never herself.

Then the surveyor arrives. Ludovico is not what he claims to be, and she is not as contained as anyone believes. In the spaces between performances - the underground rooms, the midnight libraries, the corners of a castle that no one bothers to watch - something forms between them. Precise. Irreversible. Dangerous in ways neither of them can afford.

They are building an escape. What they are building between themselves, they cannot name.

This story is real. Laura Lanza di Trabia lived, loved, and died in the Castello di Carini. She became a legend. This is the novel she deserved.

A Sicilian Gothic dark romance. Sensual content. Tragic ending. For readers who want the truth.
