There comes a moment when we look ourselves in the eye and ask:
“How far can I go before I cross the line?”
That line is invisible, shifting, often ambiguous—the seam that splits right from wrong. Are we truly sure we can see it?
We tell ourselves that conscience, morals, the law will be enough. And yet a single surge of feeling, an unspoken desire, an old wound—and the line evaporates like mist in sunlight.
In La vera storia di Alan Scott (The True Story of Alan Scott), that boundary isn’t merely blurred; it’s brittle as glass. When it shatters, there’s no sound—only sharp fragments and a question that refuses to sleep:
“Could I have chosen differently?”
Alan, Cindy, Claudia, Stefano, and Andrea aren’t just characters; they’re mirrors held up to our grey zones.
Cindy is magnetism and shadow—charisma troubled by its own echo.
Claudia is beauty edged with danger, a seduction that brushes the brink.
Alan is the man who has already stepped over—can he find his way back?
Stefano is the calm surface, carrying the weight of other people’s choices.
Andrea is contained fire, a quiet rage ready to burn everything for his private truth.
This isn’t only about guilt or crime.
It’s about ordinary choices, tiny concessions, the little excuses we make. One compromise at a time—until we realise we are somewhere else entirely.
Or perhaps we were always there.
Is it really so simple to tell right from wrong?Or does evil begin the instant we stop believing we could never be like it?
La vera storia di Alan Scott isn’t just a novel. It’s a descent—compelling and dangerous—into the country where passion hardens into obsession, desire slips into transgression, and love… learns the grammar of power.
✨ Coming soon to your hands. Not merely a read, but a journey—unforgettable, and unmistakably yours.
