1. 365 Days
365 Days (2018), originally published as 365 Dni,[8] opens the trilogy by introducing Laura Biel, Massimo Torricelli, and the coercive arrangement at the center of the series. This novel establishes the Sicilian Mafia world, Laura’s separation from her former life, and the volatile relationship that shapes the following books.[2]
Its ending leaves major personal and criminal tensions in motion, making it the required entry point.[2]
2. This Day
This Day (2018), originally titled Ten dzień,[9] continues the storyline after the events of 365 Days, moving deeper into Laura and Massimo’s marriage, family alliances, and threats from within and beyond Massimo’s world. This book expands the roles of Domenico, Olga, Anna, Adriano, and rival criminal characters, while building toward a cliffhanger.[3]
It depends on the first book’s setup.[3]
3. The Next 365 Days
The Next 365 Days (2019), originally published as Kolejne 365 dni,[10] follows the aftermath of the previous book’s crisis and completes the trilogy’s central relationship conflict. It focuses on Laura’s recovery, her troubled marriage to Massimo, and her connection with Nacho, while carrying forward the personal and criminal consequences already established.[4]
As the concluding volume, it should be read only after the first two books.[4]
