About this audiobook
A gothic suspense thriller infused with rich historical intrigue, romance, and the dark secrets of an ancient curse. When historian Emma Bartoli impulsively purchases a crumbling villa in the rolling hills of Tuscany, she believes she is simply reclaiming her ancestral roots. But beneath the beauty of the vineyards and sun-drenched landscapes, a sinister legacy lies buried. Her arrival sets off a chilling chain of events. With the help of Marco, a security specialist with his own personal ties to the estate, Emma embarks on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth. As they dig deeper, they discover an underground crypt filled with skeletal remains, victims of a ritual sacrifice that has sustained the estate’s prosperity for generations. The truth is darker than Emma ever imagined. The Caravaggio dynasty has continued its ancient, twisted practice, offering human sacrifices under the harvest moon to sustain the vineyard’s success.
