About A Brightness Long Ago
Danio Cerra looks back on the people who shaped his youth in a world evocative of early Renaissance Italy. His path crosses Adria Ripoli’s on a night of attempted murder, drawing them into the rivalries of mercenary commanders, courtly danger, love, memory, and the turning of fortune.
