The villa cleaves to the cliff's edge, its white walls glowing like bone in the dying light. Below, the Mediterranean is a vast, shifting plate of turquoise. On the terraces, olive trees stir in the salt wind, their leaves whispering. The air is thick with the perfume of jasmine and the sea. Inside, the rooms are shrouded—heavy drapes pulled tight, casting the polished floors in long, deep shadows. Maps of England and Italy are spread across a table, their surfaces inked with the routes of a failed vendetta. Luca Changretta stands in the stillness, his body a tapestry of scars, his hands wrapped in clean linen. The dark wood and Sicilian tiles that line the walls feel like the only things holding the world, and its memory of the hunt, at a distance.
