Meet the Cast
ronni hawk is… rose
At 23, Rose is just six months from a graduate degree in Agricultural Science, but she’s been going hard in her studies for years, and money is tight. Seeking a change of scenery and a boost to her threadbare finances, Rose gets wind of an unorthodox job opportunity with a new tech company, Vicarion. It means she’ll be traveling solo in a land she’s never seen, scaling rustic trails and ancient ruins.
Content on her own - which she's coming to realize has kept her pretty lonely lately - Rose carries a heavy weight: the sense of having failed her late father in his time of need. So a trip to Italy, the adventure offered in its complex history, endless, sublime vistas and sumptuous works of art, is a tonic she desperately needs. What Rose doesn’t yet understand is that her soul has other battles to wage, and numbing herself to guilt and personal regrets has made her not only less open to family, friends and potential romance, but perilously vulnerable to predatory forces she can’t possibly imagine.
Mattia mele is… terenzio
After 18 months studying for service to the Church, a great desire to raise a family compelling a change in his path, Terenzio realized he could love God and live with devotion to God, without becoming a priest. A free spirit who looks at humanity with empathy and a sense of day to day mission, Terenzio is brave, wise beyond his years, and intuitive, but his open heart makes him a bit reckless from time to time. This is especially the case when he meets a pretty girl.
Terenzio’s best friend is his brother, Sebastian, possibly the only person on Earth who can keep Terenzio somewhat tethered to Earth. They sharpen each other in blunt and gentler, funny ways, but even that bond is no match for the sudden arrival of a remarkable young lady. Terenzio, for all his devotion to God, has a nagging corner of self-doubt - did he leave the priesthood to start a family, or was it because his faith was simply not strong enough? Eventually this question will challenge him in his darkest hour, as he rises to face off against a horrible, ancient evil, armed only with his confidence and trust in God.
