The soldier of fortune

By Christian Cantelli Podesta

The sixteenth century, an era of splendour and brutality, where loyalty is a mirage and survival an art.Santi, a young farmer, possesses a rare gift: an almost magical bond with his greyhounds, which he transforms into lethal comrades-in-arms.

When tragedy strikes, his thirst for revenge drives him onto the battlefield. Fighting alongside leaders such as Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, he discovers the true face of war. Between horror and disillusionment, his soul hardens, and even his dogs reflect the shadow that consumes him.

Who will he become when all certainty has collapsed?From the ashes of the past emerges a new man, forged by pain, determined to defend what remains.

As the Sack of Rome looms, his greatest battle has only just begun.And his greyhounds are ready to follow him to the end.
