Publisher's Synopsis
Flavio Luca shut down his mob operations with little hesitation after his visit with the lady in the red dress. He became a recluse, spending the rest of his days in the mountain side, painting the most exquisite and fiery portraits of his lost love. Of course, the wounds inflicted upon him by his loathsome father never fully healed but stood as a reminder of the man Flavio could never become.
Chataluma's appetite for violence and decay eroded, with men and women sick and tired of losing their children to the mercy of a decadent and narcissistic culture of materialism and unaddressed fear.
The cause of the strife, violence, and chaos inflicted upon the city by its own creation was never known. Nero was lost in the vastness of time, a puppeteer of chaos in an enigmatic period. Her name merely a fable taught to children for centuries to come, a warning to societies retreating from compassion.
