Pope Leo's daughter, Kitty, is a witch who is always engaging herself in some form of adventure -- telling stories entwined within stories. All, of course, told from behind the scenes of the Vatican.
"I looked at him with glassy eyes, regretting deeply all the time I had invested in coming to know him.  Day after day – whenever I had the urge, that is – I’d ventured forth dreamily in the outskirts of the Vatican, privately, away from my father.  Sometimes he’d even set aside special time for me to visit him, even if he was busy with “pack business.”
"But still.  Nothing.  Nothing more than the cradle of my black, dismal silence.  Screams from a primal spirit.  My Emanuel.
I knew him all too well.  He was just so out of this world.  The passion that I felt..."
Will Kitty's relationship with her father cause her to detach from her beloved Emanuel? Or will she fight for what she believes?

Vatican Nights

	For what seemed like decades, I endured the grueling drudgery of having to sit through dinner, to sup with my begrudging father.  Father, of course, dined separately with his Holy Sanhedrin again over tea, but I was never permitted to partake in such intimate meetings.


	I tossed and turned in my sleep, fearing for much of the night that Daddy would drop in at any given moment to scold me, more than to ensure that I was safe.  Truly, I surely dreaded every waking moment I was to spend the following day with my father amongst the Sanhedrin.  And the most fearsome part, to me, was that I’d spend much of her time with them in silence, thus leaving me to my own self, and mind.
