Song to Verona

A Song to Verona is saga of love, loss, and second chances-woven across continents and generations.The pursuit of success will also bring the gains and pains that come along with fame. As it begins to cast its glare, the characters find their integrity tested-not just by personal struggles, but by the relentless scrutiny of the outside world. In the spotlight, even small cracks widen, and staying true to oneself becomes the greatest challenge of all.Camila Findlay has never belonged. Not in the shimmering world of red carpets and designer gowns her parents adore. Not in the rituals of faith she's forced to perform, nor in the private school where her voice is a disturbance. Raised in a mansion where image trumps truth, her rebellious spirit burns too brightly for the narrow corridors of expectation. When one too many outbursts forces a decision, Camila is sent across the ocean-exiled to an elite boarding school in Trieste.But what begins as punishment soon reveals itself as an awakening. In a foreign land, among strangers, Camila begins to find her voice-not just as a singer, but as a young woman unwilling to conform. Her music becomes her refuge. Her questions, sharper. And though her past clings to her like a shadow, new bonds begin to form.Meanwhile, across Europe, in a modest home in Verona, a boy named Paolo blows out eight birthday candles and unwraps his first bicycle. That moment, seemingly small, marks the beginning of a journey that will change everything. Paolo Sartori doesn't know Camila exists, nor does she know his name. Yet fate has already set its course.Between Los Angeles, New York, Trieste, and Verona, the first volume of A Song to Verona intertwines the lives of three characters shaped by legacy, longing, and silent truths. Liam, Camila's older stepbrother, flees the golden cage of fame in pursuit of a soul-stirring career on the stages of Broadway. Paolo, a gifted cyclist with quiet determination, begins a path shaped by sacrifice and dreams he can barely name. And Camila-fiery, brilliant, broken-takes her first steps toward becoming the woman who will one day change all their lives.This is not just a story of romance. It is a saga of found family, generational silence, ambition, and the battle to define oneself against the expectations of others. Roots and Destinies sets the tone for a sweeping literary series that defies the usual tropes, inviting readers into a world where music, identity, and longing echo across continents.

Camila takes a definitive step that will transform her life-and the lives of everyone around her. As she boards a plane bound for Costa Rica, a complex plan begins to unfold, orchestrated with silent precision by Romina: the birth of a child who, officially, will bear another woman's name as mother.In the serene setting of a small coastal town, Camila gives birth to Dylan. But what should have been a moment of light becomes a pit of silence and separation. Denied the chance to hold her son, the bond is severed before it ever forms. Her pleas go unheard. Her strength crumbles. And in the hands of those who should have protected her, decisions are made that will mark her forever.While Romina and Marcus present an idealized version of family, Liam remains unaware that he has become a father. And while some conspire to keep the silence, others-like Leo, George, and even Jared-begin to feel the weight of what remains unspoken.Haunted by guilt, Camila retreats deeper into herself. After returning to Los Angeles, she isolates completely, cutting all ties with the outside world. The intervention of those who love her comes just in time, but healing is slow and uncertain. Through the quiet presence of Brenda and Leo, and later Liam, a fragile bridge begins to take shape. A bath. A meal. A message. Simple gestures that start to bring her back.But healing does not mean forgetting. One image-Dylan's unmistakable eyes-forces her to confront everything she tried to bury. The truth pulses beneath every breath. And though she is not yet ready to speak, something within her has started to shift.Meanwhile, in Verona, Paolo is crossing thresholds of his own. At seventeen, he already carries the weight of expectations-from family, coaches, and sponsors. The constant demand for flawless performance and endless victories begins to erode his passion. Though his camaraderie with teammates offers refuge, Paolo needs, at least for a few hours, to disconnect from it all.He decides to rediscover his city without a stopwatch or team jersey, walking its streets not as a rising star in cycling, but as an ordinary young man. His bond with the sport remains intact, but now he seeks something deeper: a breath of air, a quiet place where he can find himself again. He finds it in a small neighborhood bookstore, among forgotten vinyls and timeworn pages. There, without expecting it, he discovers an unexpected, silent refuge-one that holds him up when the outside world demands too much.Volume Six is a raw and unflinching exploration of motherhood, sacrifice, and identity. It marks the lowest point in Camila's journey-and the moment she barely begins to find a reason to rise again. For Paolo, it is the start of a quiet but powerful question: will he continue to follow the path others have drawn for him, or dare to imagine one of his own? (ENG.) - Virginia F.

Life does not always transform with fanfare. Sometimes, the greatest changes arrive quietly, scattered among losses, choices, and revelations. This seventh volume of A Song to Verona explores a decisive period, marked by years in which the entire world -and each of the characters- had to reinvent themselves.Camila emerges from depression with the support of those who love her and have stayed by her side, though the weight of guilt still lingers within. She finds refuge in music and continues her journey with Gaia's Cry, facing the demands of the music industry. Between tours, family memories, and a house she can finally call her own, she will learn that balance is not a destination, but a daily construction.Meanwhile, Liam goes through his own transition in New York. He has accepted that the past he once loved will not return, but he seeks a way to live with the present as it is. At the insistence of his father, Marcus, he reconnects with the family he once left behind. But now, something has changed: Dylan -a child whose presence awakens an unfamiliar emotion within Liam… unaware that he is his own son.Little Dylan, whose voice at just five years old begins to bloom with a natural talent that leaves no one untouched. In a home striving to maintain a fragile harmony, and a family beginning to heal its wounds, Dylan becomes a point of light and the promise of something deeper.In Italy, Paolo Sartori comes of age. Not only as a cyclist, but as a young man leaving adolescence behind to become an adult who begins to define his place in the world with clarity. His values grow stronger, and with them, his personality takes shape -free of vanity and superficial judgment. His purpose reaches further.With effort and determination, Paolo advances through his university studies in psychology, diving deeper into a quiet passion: understanding the minds of athletes as a way to heal what the body so often keeps silent.The pandemic of 2020 does not go unnoticed. With it come difficult times, farewells that leave their mark, and a pause that forces each character to look inward. Maksym, from Ukraine, continues to resist in his own way, now a symbol and witness of a fight that has not ceased. Amid the chaos, his actions still echo across borders.Throughout these pages, the protagonists discover that a dramatic ending is not always needed to close a chapter. Sometimes, a single glance, a song, or one more step into the unknown is enough.The saga continues. Volumes 8 and 9 are scheduled for release in July 2025. The narrative will shift to the city of Verona, where the paths of the protagonists will cross once again -in a reunion as unexpected as it is inevitable. (ENG.) - Virginia F.
