The Shadow’s Secrets
關於這本電子書
Nunzio is an idealist at heart. His
heart swells with passions. Nunzio’s early years consisted of
traveling and developing an appreciation for the people, the nature,
and the culture of Italy. His father immersed Nunzio in literature so
that even an ordinary day could remind Nunzio of a poem.
While serving as the priest of a small
parish in the countryside of Italy, Nunzio’s admiration of beauty
gets him into trouble. Mariella, a beautiful woman with great
strength and an appreciation for all of the things Nunzio cares
about, enters his life, and he calls his holy vows into question.
Although their
love is pure and strong, Nunzio is married to the church, and
Mariella is wedded to Paolo, a man with a violent temper who is
capable of heinous abuses.
Amidst the romantic scandal, a string
of children go missing, and when their bodies are discovered, they
are horribly maimed. The townspeople begin to suspect that their
young priest, from out of town, could be responsible for the
grotesque deaths. When a witch-hunt, organized by Paolo, turns the
parish against their priest, Mariella discovers that an even greater
secret is growing inside of her.
In their clandestine hours together,
Nunzio and Mariella marvel at nature’s resilience to the harshest
of conditions, but The Shadow’s Secrets proves that no creature
suffers quite like a man and a woman in love.
