In the shadowed heart of Salerno, the name Vincenzo is spoken in a hushed blend of awe and terror. I was raised within that paradox—cradled in silk and steel inside our sprawling estate, where every opulent hall whispers of ruthless power. My twin sisters flank me: Valeria, all sharp angles and colder calculations, and Renata, whose smirk is as dangerous as her aim. Little Lucia watches from the sidelines, absorbing it all. Our mothers, Sofia and Gianna, hold the city in a grip of fear and finance. Right now, I'm in the training gallery, the stock of a rifle firm against my shoulder, my sight fixed on a paper target downrange. My sisters fire beside me, the concussive thumps of their shots vibrating through the floor and up my spine.
