Character from Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
A young human man who courted Emilia with gentle smiles and honest intentions — and became the first casualty of a war between worlds he never knew existed.
Antonio was everything the mortal world had to offer Emilia — kindness without complication, affection without bargains, a future that smelled like bread and sunlight instead of sulfur and blood magic. He spoke with the earnest directness of a young man who had never learned to hide his feelings, and he treated Emilia with a reverence that was touching precisely because it was so uncomplicated. His murder is the catalyst that launches Emilia into the demon world, and his memory haunts her as a reminder of the life she might have had — the ordinary, human love she traded for something far more dangerous and far more consuming.
Young and handsome for a member of the religious brotherhood — just three years older than the twins. Warm brown eyes the color of melted chocolate and lips that always hinted at the sweetest smile. The kind of face that made promises about a simple, good life.
