What is love, if not the slowest way to die?
Verena Vicario was never meant to kneel - not to men, not to mercy, not to fate. Born into power, raised by crime, and tempered by loss, she has mastered the art of surviving wars she never chose. But when Il Sepolcro demands a debt in blood, she is sent to hunt the ghost haunting their empire - a name whispered in every alley, a shadow that knows her pulse too well.
In a world where every promise cuts, and every truth leaves a scar, Verena learns that some wars are fought beneath the skin - in verses sewn in bruises.
