Vendetta

VENDETTA

Buried alive. Betrayed by love. Reborn for revenge.

The last thing Count Fabio Romani remembers is the searing pain of cholera before darkness claimed him. The first thing he sees upon awakening? His own name etched in stone above him.

Entombed in his family crypt, Fabio claws his way back to the world of the living only to discover a truth more devastating than death itself: his beautiful wife Nina and his closest friend Guido have betrayed him, their passionate affair beginning while his body was still warm.

A dead man walking, Fabio disappears into the shadows of Naples. When he emerges, he is unrecognizable—the mysterious Count Oliva, a stranger with familiar eyes and a soul consumed by vengeance. With calculated precision, he infiltrates their lives, earning their trust while meticulously planning their destruction.

But as his elaborate scheme unfolds, dark forces gather. In the ancient vaults where secrets and corpses lie, madness and murder become terrifying bedfellows. When a catastrophic storm unleashes its fury on the night of reckoning, even Fabio cannot control the horrifying chain of events he has set in motion.

Marie Corelli's gothic masterpiece plunges readers into a chilling psychological labyrinth where the line between justice and obsession blurs with every heartbeat. In VENDETTA, the dead don't rest—they wait. And revenge, like the tomb, can become a prison from which there is no escape.
