A Ruthless Empire Prequel Novella · by Adriana Vex
Buffalo, October 1992. Concetta has worn the name Sofia Bianchi for six years. Her six-year-old daughter has worn the name her father chose for her cover. In forty-eight hours, the matriarch who placed them inside this lie will arrive to take the child. There is one man — a Carducci lawyer who has loved Concetta from across rooms for six years — who can pull them out. He is driving up from Philly with the Svevo paperback she has read three times and he has read eleven, and a wedding ring he has not yet decided to take off. They have one night, one road, and one secret she has been carrying for six years, three months, and eleven days. The dark mafia prequel novella that answers the question the reader of ‘Stolen Name’ has been carrying since chapter one: whose daughter is Lucia, and what name did her mother whisper into her sleeping ear before burying it forever?
