Veil of Shadows

For a 15-year-old girl from Canada, life was simple-family, school, and dreams of exploring the world. A school trip to Italy was meant to be just that: a glimpse of history, art, and adventure. But when she stumbles upon a wounded man in a shadowed Roman alley, her life takes an unexpected and dangerous turn.

The man is no ordinary stranger-he's a mafia capo from North America, his life a web of power, violence, and secrets. What begins as an act of kindness becomes a fateful encounter that draws her into a world far from her own. A world where trust is scarce, loyalty is bought, and danger is a constant companion.

Back home in Canada, the shadows of that day follow her. The capo reappears, offering her a choice-or perhaps an ultimatum-that will forever change the course of her life. Forced into a game she never asked to play, she learns that survival isn't just about staying alive-it's about navigating the thin line between light and dark, love and power.

This is her story, a journey into the heart of danger, where the only certainty is that nothing will ever be the same.
