BOOK 1
Veronica Garcia, a smart and beautiful fifteen-year-old, had endured enough of her stepfather's abuse. One fateful night, during his drunken rage, she seized her chance to escape, fleeing to her abuelo's mansion for solace. However, her newfound safety was short-lived. One sleepless night, seeking a cup of tea, Veronica overheard a heated argument in her abuelo's study. Peeking through a crack in the door, she witnessed a terrifying confrontation between her abuelo and three menacing men. Suddenly, a gunshot echoed through the mansion, and she watched in horror as her abuelo's lifeless eyes met hers.
Three years later, Veronica, now known as "Diabla," had transformed into Spain's most feared assassin. Her abuelo's murder had ignited a relentless thirst for vengeance within her. Every mission she undertook brought her closer to the men who had shattered her world. Her reputation grew as she carved a path of death and destruction, her skills becoming unparalleled. The streets whispered her name in fear, her resolve unbreakable.
Driven by grief and rage, Diabla's quest for revenge consumed her. Each kill brought a twisted satisfaction, knowing she was one step closer to avenging her abuelo's death. Though her path was dark and lonely, it was the only way she knew to honor his memory. And so, with a heart full of vengeance and a soul steeped in darkness, she continued her relentless hunt, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.
