In 17th century Italy, Nico Paolo was a child prodigy—a singer whose haunting voice captivated all who heard him. Yet, beneath the surface, he was burdened by a broken family, suppressed rage, and a world that demanded perfection at the cost of his humanity. When a powerful goddess cursed him for his hubris and vengeance, Nico’s body was transformed into wood, his voice silenced forever. As Pinocchio, a living puppet, he became a weapon of terror and divine balance. Trained by Geppetto, a retired assassin with his own haunted past, Pinocchio honed his unnatural powers to manipulate silence, nightmares, and wood itself. Together, they carved a path of calculated destruction through Italy’s corrupt elite, each strike raising questions of morality and revenge.
