Goodbye, Padania

by Bryan Murphy

A young woman strives to break free of her grim past and avoid a bloody future. Amid the death agonies of a pariah state, Daria Rigoletti transforms herself from contract killer to people-smuggler to cult leader, but circumstances combine against her attempts to break free of violence. Will the mysterious Mercurio help her – if she doesn’t kill him first? Can anyone else reignite her human feelings and her passion for love and life?
