[edit] Plot summary

Palazzo Della Morte, thats what the villagers called it. Adored by statues of gargoyles, the Scarletti Palazzo held a dreadful secret. One that took the lives of many. Every bride that entered the Palazzo was doomed to leave it in a casket.

Nicoletta cared nothing for curses and had no fear of marriage, until she looked into the eyes of Don Scarletti, after she healed him and his niece. She was the light of her village. Nicoletta had thought that her gift of healing set her apart but it was his right to choose a bride from his people. And he choose her. Spurred by duty and desire, she placed her body into his keeping, hoping that the powerful don would be her heart's destiny, no her demise.
