Infernum

Vera Adelaide, a young woman plagued by cryptic headaches and unsettling visions, lives a life far from ordinary. Born under strange omens, her past shrouded in stolen memories, she carries a terrible curse. When a mysterious magical circus, Infernum, appears in her dull city, a twisted fate beckons. Drawn into its alluring and dangerous world, Vera must confront her destiny, a path steeped in death and destruction, for the destined queen was always meant to destroy.
The mundane scent of coffee beans and stale air hung in the cafe. Another crushing headache hammered behind your eyes, a frequent, unwelcome guest since the curse had begun its work. You fumbled with the coffee pot, the dark liquid overflowing and scalding your fingers. A familiar hiss of pain escaped your lips.
"Child, must I tell you to be careful? You almost dropped the glass, again," your co-worker, the green-haired woman, muttered from behind the cashier, her voice dripping with irritation. You ducked your head, pretending not to hear, and crouched down to reach for more coffee, the dull pain in your head intensifying.
