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.

Veilfall
Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I ever expected to be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she was just another face in the crowd - until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and an ancient soul whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be...or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *UNDER EDITING!!!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
