Born in Darkness
The Quest of God Book 1
“Uncover a story of divine power, earthly intrigues, and the sacred quest for liberation. In a life shadowed by her family’s dark legacy, will her faith be her salvation or her downfall?”
In the shadowy corridors of power and faith, Born in Darkness – The Quest of God weaves a compelling tale of Gianina Gagliardi, a Mafia princess bound by the chains of her heritage and a divine destiny she yearns to escape. Raised within the fortified walls of her family’s estate, Gianina’s life is one of luxury and confinement, her every move dictated by the unyielding hand of her father, the Don. Yet beneath the opulence lies a spirit yearning for freedom, a soul that seeks the light beyond the darkness of her world. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, Gianina finds herself at a crossroads, caught between the life predestined for her and the life she dreams of.
As Gianina embarks on a daring quest for liberation, her journey unravels a tapestry of betrayal, loyalty, and faith. With the legacy of her family weighing heavily on her shoulders and the eyes of the divine watching her every move, Gianina must navigate a path fraught with danger and intrigue. The book delves deep into the heart of what it means to fight for one’s destiny against the might of the gods and the shadows of ancestral sins. It is a story that questions the bounds of faith and the power of free will, set against the backdrop of a war that threatens to engulf both the mortal and celestial realms.
In her search for freedom, Gianina discovers that the most profound battles are fought not with weapons, but within the chambers of the soul, where darkness and light wage an eternal war for supremacy.
From The Author
First and foremost, thank you for reading my work.
When you spend your hard-earned money to purchase my book(s), it’s a humbling experience. I feel a deep responsibility to give you the best books possible, not only in terms of plot, characters and narrative, but also proper word usage and grammar. This does not and should not imply perfection on my part. Far from it. However, whatever errors may creep into the work are regretted by the author, who asks forgiveness in advance.
My one and only intention for this and my other books is to entertain the reader. Perhaps to also inform, especially in my non-fiction, but information is only useful when delivered in such a way that it’s remembered.
Readers are special people. I appreciate you all because I’m one of you. Books are my life, as my overflowing bookshelves will attest. Everything I have done in my life has led to this moment. From majoring in Creative Writing to absorbing military history over the last 50+ years, I have devoted my life to this book and all those yet to come.
I pray you feel the effort was worthwhile.
