Every house has a history… but this one refuses to be buried. The question is no longer how they will live in this place, but if they can escape… before it’s too late.

And looking like this for that matter.” I frowned. “Like what?” “Did you enjoy the fact that men were bidding on you like some prost—” My palms flew and landed on Drego’s face before I could understand what I was doing. “You don’t get to judge how I decide to look. Who the hell do you think you are to judge me? I did what I did for charity. You’re my boss, don’t cross any lines.” I turned around to leave. “Wait. Nichole I’m sorry.” He said more calmly. I looked at him again. “Because I told you that I was in love with you doesn’t make it okay for you to get involved in my personal life and decisions.” “It’s not like—” “Don’t worry. The day I quit was my first day getting over you. You don’t have to worry about that crazy talk. I’m over you.

But it is a kind of magic place that helps who is in life danger. Marco is captured with Anna and is unable to communicate the data to the ship, but the attack takes place as if the crew of the ship would be advised, not according to the normal precautions that it would require. Marco and Anna free themselves, with the help of Maddalena, but they are hunted by Kepfel, the base commander. They find the Golden Mouth and enter, but they separate and, when Marco exits, time is in the mouth had been equivalent to one hundred and ten years outside. He finds Giovanni, Anna's father, who searched for them in the mouth, suffering the whims of time. From the mouth come out some nuns, who tell him about the cave and about Sister Maria. Marco becomes convinced that Maria is Anna and enters the mouth where Sister Maria, who is a seventy-year-old nun, introduces him to Sergio, a scientist, expert on mouths, who never completed the data to complete his research. There are two mouths inside the cave: one leads forward in time and the other backwards, but it is blocked from the outside by a landslide. Marco tries his luck again and goes back. He removes the landslide and tries to return to his time, but anticipates it by twenty years. Ettore and Chiara host him, and he becomes Marcos Kastro. Marcos has to fix the future events. When Sergio enters the mouth, Ettore, who doesn't want to live another war, follows him: He will explain to Sergio the data he would need.

He'll have to help him. He shows up on Ajax and ensures that the attack occurs without harm to Kastri. Kastriokis manages to free himself and escape with Anna, but Chiara will prevent him from entering the mouths. Sergio and Ettore will appear a few days later, thanks to the accuracy of Marcos' data.

Standing beneath a golden moon, oh how does it let you see, how worthless you are. What does it take to break a man, to destroy them inside and out? What is the snapping point, where do you draw the line? What do you do when you have a goal so ambitious that you throw away your humanity to achieve it? These are the questions that will be answered with time, for you see, time will tell, as it always does. --- Authors note : The synopsis was a little vague so I will explain what you can expect to find if you decide to read my novel. I dislike romance and love stories, so expect none of that. I also dislike buddy buddy characters, so sadly no sidekick. Just for the record, I am aiming to create a REAL villain, none of that stuff where the villain actually turns out to be nice. There will be gore, notions of violence, trauma, and tragedy. I want a story that will make you feel, I want a dark story. Hopefully, I can provide that to you. Also, I cannot promise a consistent schedule of chapters, my schedule is very sporadic and often wack, so sorry if you wait days or weeks for one chapter. I can at least promise one a week, hopefully. **READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**
