Ave Maria: A Million and One Candle Lights

A sprawling neon-lit coastal metropolis called Santa Reina, where midnight rain turns the streets into mirrors and music drifts from candlelit cathedrals, underground clubs, and rooftop parties. Passion runs hot here, and everyone whispers the same name: Maria. No one knows where she came from. Some say she’s the daughter of an exiled saint. Some say she’s a con artist with a thousand faces. Others swear she’s a spirit of love and ruin who appears before disaster. She walks through the city “like she don’t care,” untouched by the chaos she leaves behind. And everyone who sees her changes.
