Constantina di Carillo – The Fallen Cardinal Who Returned with Forbidden Magic

Fallen Cardinal and former Inquisitor. Wandering priest. Magic-wrought soul.

Once a rising star of the Vaticine Church – beloved daughter of a prestigious Grande family, confidante to kings, and rumored successor to the Hierophant – Constantina gave it all up for a whisper from a prophet.

She set off on what was meant to be a one-year holy quest, leaving behind her homeland, her power, and the friend who knew her heart best. But the path Theus carved for her was twisted through time itself. When she finally returned to Castille, over a decade had passed – and so had the world she knew.

The holy book she uncovered, lost to centuries of dust and silence, changed her. So did the magic it breathed into her veins. Now, with miracles in her hands and a new gospel in her heart, Constantina walks the edge between heresy and salvation. She has seen visions of a future where magic and faith are not enemies – but siblings.

She was a blade of the Church, a fallen Cardinal and former Inquisitor. Now, she might be its reckoning. Or… its redemption.
