The Scarletti Curse is darkly passionate tale of love and a follow-up curse, this tale is a gothic story yet mesmerising and romantic. This international best-selling tale is a prequel to Dark symphony. The classic novel The Scarletti Curse by Christine Feehan is, in my opinion, mesmerising and gripping blend of horror and romance. Written in 2001, is is an epic family saga full of hate, lust, desire and revenge, focusing on Nicoletta and Giovanni. The atmospheric setting of the wild countryside of Spain (setting not accurate on the book) cleverly grabs attention of violence.
Nicoletta is a traditional healer/herbalist, she summoned by the don to attend an ill child, Sophie, and her uncle Don Giovanni Scarletti. The Don and young Sophie ate a poisoned soup, and they were gradually ill. So, Mari Pia and Nicoletta were both assigned to heal the patients. The funny thing is, that they were both in disguise because they were afraid that the don could identify them. Smart enough, the don recognized them.
The Scarletti is a family, that is well-known of a curse that stark family a few years ago, this family is very wealthy and owns a lot of lands in Spain. The family signed a treaty with a few lands, and the treaty states that the family will protect the lands, but the treaty also comes with another term and condition that the family’s don will come anytime to any village to marry a peasant, so Giovanni is the don of the family, so he comes to a certain village and indentifies Nicoletta and he offers a bridal covenant. The bad part is that, Nicoletta doesn’t love the man and she also heard about the bad side of the Don Scarletti, but Nicoletta's guardian, Mari Pia refuses this engagement. If Mari Pia refuses the bridal covenant would be broken and the treaty would end. Nicoletta was not happy to live in the ‘Palazzo De Morte’ ( Palace of Death). So, Nicoletta is forced to live in the palace, but too for Nicoletta, the poor girl receives a tasteless home welcome from the members of the noble family.
Apparently, Nicoletta was in her bedchamber and suddenly Portia Scarletti, the don’s cousin, the noble woman insulted Nicoletta by calling her names and chasing her away. Nicoletta had a bad vibe with the family, the bad was that Nicoletta found out that her mother and her aunt were murder in the palace. I will end there, so go out and get The Scarletti Curse, I truly recommend the book it will heal your mysterious and gothic crave.
