Inheritance of Ashes

In the declining republic of Verona-Novum, the discovery of a century-old codicil to the Aldobrandini family’s will reopens a buried scandal of betrayal and murder. As three heirs descend into a legal labyrinth, each uncovers not only the patriarch’s dark secret but the mirror of their own doomed passions. A psychological thriller in the manner of Stendhal, where every quest for truth becomes a descent into the self.
