 A love story stopped abruptly, while it was still blooming 10 years ago. Young Ettore fell in love with his best friend little innocent sister Bella. When her parents found out, they advised Ettore to leave and never come back. He was not good enough for their daughter. Heartbroken Bella has never found what happened to her lover. 
 Nowadays a new dangerous powerful narcotic called Red Dragon has hit the streets. Crimson, the drug which was turning Breeds to Rogues, had been totally destroyed by the Order. Vito Massioni is the number one dealer of Red Dragon and Savage and Trygg are out to get him. 
 Savage cannot believe his own eyes when he sees that the 28 years old now Bella is part of Massioni's household. 
 It is time for some explanations to be given. From both sides. For all these wasted years. 
 I really enjoyed the novella. It is on par with the rest of the "One Thousand and One Dark Nights" novels and it also has the quality of an old romance book. The settings are magnificent (A road trip in Italy, a village, a palatial villa, a vineyard, an ancient limestone cave). 
 Moreover, another interesting Breed and another Breedmate and her son are joining the series: 
 Chiara is a young widow, Bella's relative. 
 Scythe is a strange guy, a tortured Breed who will help Savage and Bella (and I think he is craving to tell his own story and have his own book).
