Alessandra's life was, if you had to describe it in one word, boring.

She had to have everything just right, just the way others expected her to.

Perfection.

Beauty.

Talent.

Law.

It was all bundled up, in one strict rule:

"You have to be perfect"

Many say perfection has no limit, every violinists can improve, every author can make a story more beautiful, but Alessandra was the closest to perfection she could get herself to.

But in every perfect hero (or damsel in stress) there's always one fatal flaw.

It could be friendship, but the closest thing to a friend she has is a old cat.

It could be love, but she has no lover.

No, Alessandra Belle Ricco's fatal flaw was curiosity.

Thirst for adventure.

The power to

wonder things a perfect figure like her shouldn't do.

But in every adventure, from climbing a mountain to going to the underground, there's always something everyone forgets.

Risks.

A simple word, one syllable, but with a meaning that leads to something more dangerous.

More dangerous than feeding drug addicts bread.

More horrible than selling a 4 generation heir loom.

More risky than going outside alone at night.

No, the word is something more powerful than all of that.

Something that is a prize and a punishment for every adventure.

Love.

Or that's what every fictional book had told her.
