A century-old unsolved murder
A disputed inheritance
A family secret that some will kill to protect …
When Sara Marsala’s beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, she leaves Sara a valuable piece of land in Sicily, but there’s a catch: if Sara wants the land, she must first uncover the truth about what happened to her great-grandmother, Serafina Marsala. Because Rosie believed Serafina was murdered, and she wants Sara to prove it.
Serafina was a headstrong young woman who fought for a better life for all the women of her small village. Yet a woman who challenges the status quo is never safe, and as Sara discovers more about the matriarch, she comes up against the same menacing forces that took down Serafina.
And now they want to destroy Sara too
