For eight years he stood in front of the door and refused. In 1933, he stops refusing. Alessandro finally walks through the impossible threshold under the Sirte — and learns the price was never what he was told. Over thirteen years he assembles half a continent by free vote, one plebiscite at a time, while quietly building the other half of it inside a mountain — and puts his name to a pact he has no intention of keeping. Every crossing costs him something he can't get back, and the map he's drawing has exactly two powers left on it.
