• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When a young journalist is tasked with writing the biography of Vincenzo Brillante-legendary partisan and political icon-he expects stories of wartime heroism. What he receives instead is a chilling confession: one final tale that Brillante has kept hidden for decades.

In the spring of 1944, high in the Alps of Nazi-occupied Italy, a close-knit band of resistance fighters is torn apart-not by bullets, but by a whisper of dishonor. When young Fischio, a gifted but enigmatic recruit, is accused of cheating at cards, suspicion spreads like wildfire. What begins as a trivial dispute escalates into moral crisis, threatening to unravel the trust on which their lives depend.

As Captain Brillante tries to uncover the truth, he encounters more than human frailty. Strange voices. Vanishing objects. And a frightened comrade who claims to see... something, surrounding Fischio, an omen of death.

Years later, haunted by guilt and lingering mystery, Brillante must choose whether to share the secret, or let it die with him.

Told through a riveting mix of memoir, mystery, and the supernatural, Luck of the Draw is a powerful story of loyalty, sacrifice, and the invisible threads that bind us. For fans of historical fiction with a ghostly twist, this novella asks: how do we weigh honor against the unknowable? And what truths are worth dying-or living-with?
