This is a monumental historical novel of 118 chapters that chronicles the complete life of Giuseppe Verdi, from his humble birth to his final breath. Traveling chronologically through his existence, the book dedicates specific chapters to each of his operas, weaving the creation of musical masterpieces with the raw human passions that forged them. The narrative spans every season of his life: his tragic first marriage to Margherita Barezzi, the tumultuous triumphs of his youth, his international travels, and his scandalous extramarital relationship with soprano Giuseppina Strepponi. After years of social exile, the couple builds a deeply happy and consolidated life together at Villa Sant'Agata, with "Peppina" serving as his manager, confidante, and unbreakable emotional anchor.However, this harmony shatters with the intrusion of Teresa Stolz. The arrival of the ambitious Czech soprano marks the beginning of the end for Giuseppina's happiness. From that moment on, the novel transforms into a high-tension psychological thriller. The two women wage a silent war behind the curtains of La Scala and within the stone walls of Sant'Agata during the creation of Aida, the Requiem, and Otello. While the world cheers the genius, an suffocating web of public hypocrisy is maintained to protect the "Verdi" brand, systematically destroying the tragic conductor Angelo Mariani along the way.The epic concludes with the heartbreaking death of Giuseppina in 1897 and the final years of an old, desolate Verdi. The ultimate resolution lands on the fate of Teresa Stolz: a dethroned queen who, after her rival's death, ends up tending to Sant'Agata-wealthy and famous, but condemned to absolute solitude. A colossal novel about the cost of genius, where the music conquered immortality, but the silence devoured their lives.

  • Their missing sister

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
