⠀⠀ ⠀⠀…⠀⠀ ⠀⠀a 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐇𝐄 born to an ancient bloodline, Emilia is the daughter of a legacy whispered in candlelit rituals and bound by the secrets of witches who have lived among mortals for centuries. Raised in the sun-drenched heart of 𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐘, she and her twin sister, Vittoria, spent their days steeped in tradition — tending to their family’s bustling trattoria, grinding fragrant herbs, and weaving magic hidden beneath ordinary touch. Emilia was the careful one, the dreamer with a cautious heart, raised under the watchful eye of her grandmother, who taught her the sacred ways of 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐀 𝐃𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈 and the peril of stepping too close to the darkness. [ ... ] And then 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 came. Emilia's world shattered with her twin sister's brutal murder. 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅 burned away the girl she once was. 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 forged the woman she would become. The careful witch turned reckless. The believer in 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐒 became the one who broke them. In her desperate search for truth, Emilia ventured into the realm of 𝐋'𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈 𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐈, walking paths from which no witch had returned unscathed. What was once forbidden became her 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, her weapon. With every step deeper into the unknown, she felt herself unraveling — becoming something new, something feared. A force willing to tear apart the heavens and the underworld alike to reclaim what was taken from her. 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 war within her, but one thing is certain — she will not stop until the wicked have 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃.

That […] mixture of sensuality and cruelty which has always seemed to me to be the real “witches’ brew.”
