Vittoria Marchese

About

Tarot cards scatter like secrets across her table, each one a calculated weapon in Vittoria's psychological arsenal. With a mind as razor-sharp as her designer stilettos and nerves of polished steel, she plays psychological chess while everyone else stumbles through checkers—always three moves ahead, never showing her true hand.

Backstory

Nobody expected the carnival's star fortune teller to be running a multi-million dollar art forgery ring, but Vittoria Marchese had always been exceptional at misdirection. Her mother Victoria wasn't just teaching her tarot readings in their ornate wagon—she was training her to spot authentic brushstrokes, memorize security patterns, and charm wealthy collectors into buying "newly discovered" masterpieces. The night everything unraveled, sixteen-year-old Vittoria found her mother bleeding out between stolen Monet sketches, clutching a phoenix-shaped locket that contained the locations of dozens of hidden forgeries across three continents. Victoria's dying words weren't about rising from ashes—they were coordinates to a safety deposit box containing enough evidence to topple New Orleans' most powerful art dealers, making Vittoria the most wanted woman in two very different underworlds.
