Letters of Livorno

Two rival cities. One forbidden spark. A war that could drown them both. Pisa, 1283. As trade collapses and Genoa’s blockade tightens, Elena di Pisa watches her world tilt toward chaos. Across the sea, rising naval officer Marco della Torre is sworn to secure Genoa’s dominance — even if it means crus hing her city. A brief encounter binds their fates just as political schemes, secret alliances, and the drumbeat of war intensify. With the Battle of Meloria looming, Elena and Marco are pulled into a dangerous current where loyalty is a weapon and trust can cost everything. A gripping tale of rivalry, ambition, and a connection powerful enough to challenge an empire.
